Abstract
A series of laboratory experiments was performed in order to investigate momentum and kinetic energy correction coefficients in asymmetric rectangular compound cross-section channels. The Reynolds number varied between 14,348.9 and 54,868.2, as relative depth (Yr) changed from 0.155 to 0.825. Kinetic energy and momentum correction coefficients, a and b, were computed for 9 different models. As a result, the values of a and b considering 106 data points related to 9 distinct cross-sections averaged 1.1525 and 1.1261, respectively.
