5.3.3 Calibration results<br />

– 5.6 –<br />

The computed flows with different values of the bed equivalent-roughness and the flow<br />

depth are depicted in Fig. 5.2. Shown are the computed distributions of the velocity, eddy<br />

viscosity, and the shear stress. The corresponding measured data are also plotted in the<br />

same figures. Presented in the first figures (Fig. 5.2a-f) are the computed values obtained<br />

for Yulistiyanto data and in the second figures (Fig. 5.2g-l) are those for the present<br />

measurements. Note that for the eddy viscosity and the shear stress, different expressions<br />

were applied to the computed and measured values. For the computed ones, the following<br />

relations were used:<br />
