Flow-velocity profile

Turbulent flow is characterized by eddies, which produce fluctuations in the velocity of the flow.

Learning Goals

  • Understand no-slip and free-slip boundary conditions
  • See what a river velocity profile looks like
  • Be introduced to a number of ways of calculating flow velocity and velocity profiles in open channels
