Abstract
A method is described for modelling the distribution of velocity across a river cross‐section in a straight reach in uniform, steady flow. The method uses a finite element model based on a simplified Navier‐Stokes equation and a mixing length hypothesis. The model is applied to a representative river reach and a comparison is made with velocity gaugings in the reach. Good agreement is shown where flow conditions match the assumptions on which the model is based.
