Friction Velocity in Subsurface Pressure Formulas

Friction Velocity aids in determining the turbulent flow characteristics near the seabed, which directly influence sediment transport, erosion, and deposition processes. And is denoted by V_f. Friction Velocity is usually measured using the Meter per Second for Speed. Note that the value of Friction Velocity is always negative.
