Experimental study on the resistance of roll-wave flow
Abstract
The periodic properties of the roll-wave flow over a smooth bed are investigated and the resistance properties of the flow on a rough bed are studied experimentally. The periodic properties are presumed to be similar to those of, as it is called, a simple pendulum. In addition, the resistance properties of the flow on a rough bed have proved to be considerably related to non-dimensional velocity gradient and the front-to-back depth ratio of the wave.
