Consider a rectangular channel with an aspect ratio greater than 5 (width B and depth zo). The velocity distribution in the central plane of the channel is approximated as u = k1(z) 1/2. Here u is the streamwise velocity and is a function of the bed-normal direction z and k1 is a constant. Assuming the velocity distribution is similar across the width, calculate the average velocity for the cross-section, the energy and momentum coefficients.
