Application of a New Mean Velocity Equation of Flow in a Natural Stream of 8.5m3/s, Its Verification and Extrapolation: Copper Creck River, Virginia (USA)

The application of a new equation for average flow velocity in turbulence has already been done in a calibrated channel with precise results [1], so it is interesting to apply it now to a larger natural channel, of 8.9 m3/s, with tracer measurements that They were made in the USA in 1959 and were very well documented [2][3][4]. This condition of abundance of information, the same as in the Caltech Canal, allows the reliability of the new equations to be verified in detail, and to achieve substantial improvements in river hydrometry techniques.
