Abstract

Experiments are conducted with a compound channel model framed in the laboratory to assess the shear stress between main channel and floodplain interfaces for smooth and rough floodplains which practically counts for the discharge assessment. Results are analyzed for compound channel with different rough floodplains. Modified method for calculation of shear force (SF) is suggested through numerical model development. Again, genetic programming technique is used to assess the % SF at different boundary conditions. Finally, methods of other researchers are compared with the suggested models and found that suggested models gave minimum error than other findings.
