ABSTRAK

Kajian tentang pengedaran daya rintangan ricih air merupakan salah satu elemen

yang penting dalam kebanyakan bidang hidraulik kejuruteraan. Pengetahuan tentang

pengedaran daya rintangan ricih air dapat membantu jurutera memahami struktur

aliran air mekanik. Selain itu, pengedaran daya geseran air juga amat penting dalam

proses pengangkutan mendapan terutamanya mendapan yang berlaku di sungai.

Tujuan utama kajian ini adalah untuk memahami pengedaran daya geseran air dalam

saluran terbuka. Secara kesuluruhan, experimen ini dijalankan di Makmal Civil

Hidraulik. Selain itu, formula Stokes (1845) akan digunakan untuk pengiraan daya

geseran untuk dinding saluran terbuka. Formula yang sama akan diaplikasikan

untuk daya geseran pada katil saluran terbuka. Di samping itu, keputusan experimen

akan dibandingkan dengan teori yang sedia ada. Secara kesuluruhannya, didapati

bahawa daya rintangan ricih air bergantung kepada jarak dari dinding saluran terbuka.

Peningkatan nilai daya rintangan ricih menyebabkan kelajuan air di dalam saluran

terbuka berkurangan.

ABSTRACT

The study of shear stress distribution is an important element in most hydraulic

design field. A knowledge of the shear stress distribution helps in understanding of

the mechanics flows and also solving certain problems such as sediment

transportation and design of stable channels. The objective of this research is to

study the distribution of the shear stress in smooth rectangular open channel. All the

experimental work was conducted using the available open channel in Civil

Engineering Hydrology Laboratory. The Stokes (1845) local wall shear stress

formula will be use to determine the distribution of the shear stress in the open

channel. Similar equation used for determining the local wall shear stress will be use

to study the bed shear stress. Based on the result obtained, the results from this

method are compared with theoretical statements in literature review. The results

show that the increment of shear stress depends on the position of local velocity from

the solid boundary of the open channel. This shows that higher shear stress results in

reduction of local velocity.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 General Overview

The studies of the distribution of shear stress in smooth rectangular open

channel have been conducted widely around the world. Numerous research and

experiments have been carried out to improve understanding of the distribution of the

shear stress in open channel. The term “shear stress” in hydraulics context can be

defined as a flowing liquids subjected by a drag force to its boundary. In other

words, it can be described as the force applied by the flowing liquid attempt to drag

the channel surface downstream with it (Chen and Cotton, 1986).

The study of the shear stress is vital element which can be apply in most

hydraulics design field that can be used to solved hydraulics problem. For example,

further studies of distribution of shear stress enable hydraulics engineer to improve

their hydraulic structure design such as storm water drainage channel and also to

have better understanding on channel erosion problem.

One of the important studies of shear stress conducted by Lundgren and Jonsson

(1964) on analytical study of boundary shear stress in straight channel has

contributed to the study of bank erosion. Furthermore, their researched have been

Page 21: DISTRIBUTION OF SHEAR STRESS IN SMOOTH RECTANGULAR …

carried out and improved by Houjou et al. (1990) to calculate the boundary shear

stress in open channel flow.

1.2 Significance Study on Determining the Shear Stress

The distribution of shear stress studies gave important impact in hydraulic

structure design, research on sediment transportation and also in the study of velocity

distribution. According to Guo and Julien (2005), it is essential to separate the bed

shear stress and wall shear stress to study open channel flows. From the knowledge

of the shear stress separation, the application of wall shear stress knowledge can be

adapted to solve channel migration and erosion problem. For example, the

development of wall shear stress equation enables the hydraulic engineers to

determine the amount of shear stress applied to the channel wall according to the

velocity of the liquid flow. From these data, engineers are able to predict the shear

force effect and designed a hydraulic structure such as hydraulically stable storm

water drainage channel that can collect and convey the storm water without causing

erosion problem.

1.3 Objective and Purpose

The following is the aim of the study:

i. To study the distribution of shear stress in a smooth rectangular open

channel for the condition of uniform flow.

ii. To determine the distribution of wall shear stress and bed shear stress using

1.4 Scope of Study

The study of distribution of shear stress in smooth rectangular open channel is

only limited to uniform flow. During the study, experimental result is conducted in

stress. All the experimental work will be conducted in Civil Engineering Hydrology

Laboratory, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak.
