β¦ Synopsis
Field experiments have been done on simulated flows over different rough pre-rill and rill bed surfaces. The purpose of the experiments was to evaluate the hydraulic roughness properties of these bed surfaces. Conventional equations describing the relation of the resistance coefficient to the Reynolds number for flow in closed conduits or open channels can also be applied to shallow flows provided the boundary values of the Reynolds number, which discriminate between the various flow regimes, are adapted. When the Reynolds number is less than 100 the flow regime is laminar. Above this figure the flow is either transitional or turbulent, depending on the roughness of the bed surface. The degree of turbulence can be deduced from a morphological description of the pre-rill and rill bed surface roughness.

The model for characterizing frictional resistance in overland flow as a function of surface roughness inundation presented in Lawrence (1997, Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 22, 365-382) is neither in error nor at odds with physical intuition. The proposed model provides a simple, physically
The acceleration of saltating grains by overland flow causes momentum to be transferred from the flow to the grains, thereby increasing flow resistance and bed roughness. To assess the impact of saltating sediment on overland flow hydraulics, velocity profiles in transitional and turbulent flows on
Modelling soil erosion requires an equation for predicting the sediment transport capacity by interrill overland flow on rough surfaces. The conventional practice of partitioning total shear stress into grain and form shear stress and predicting transport capacity using grain shear stress lacks rigo
