Modelling Velocity Distribution in 3-D for Nun River, Niger Delta Nigeria

Abstract

In this study, validated field current selected stretch river. Average predicted velocities of 0.85 m/s, 1.542 m/s and 0m/s compared favorably with 0.8m/s, 1.475 m/s and 0.09m/s obtained from field measurement for upstream, midstream and downstream boundaries. The predicted results have correlation coefficients of 0.96 for velocity distribution using Pearson product-moment method. the velocity distribution of Nun River; versus lower velocities inner and outer bends,
