Abstract
The bed shear stress distribution in straight open channels is
affected by mechanisms as bed curvature of the cross section
profile, shear diffusion, and secondary currents. This paper
compares some analytical and numerical methods to estimate the bed
shear stress distribution. The methods are presented in such a way
that the sophistication is increased throughout the paper.
