Computation of Normal Depth in Parabolic Cross Sections Using The Rough Model Method

A new method is applied to calculate the normal depth in an open channel of parabolic cross section. This is the rough model method whose main particularity is to ignore the flow resistance coefficients, such as Chezy's coefficient and manning's roughness coefficient. The method is applied to a referential rough model, whose friction coefficient is constant, which explicitly express the hydraulic and geometric characteristics of the model such as aspect ratio. By means of a non-dimensional correction factor, the normal depth is explicitly deduced. The rough model method is applicable to the entire domain of turbulent flow.
