Shear Velocity in Area, Velocity and Ultrasonic Method of Streamflow Measurement Formulas

Shear velocity, also called friction velocity, is a form by which a shear stress may be re-written in units of velocity. And is denoted by v_shear. Shear Velocity is usually measured using the Meter per Second for Speed. Note that the value of Shear Velocity is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Shear Velocity?

Shear velocity, also called friction velocity, is a form by which a shear stress may be re-written in units of velocity. Shear Velocity is usually measured using the Meter per Second for Speed. Note that the value of Shear Velocity is always positive.

Can the Shear Velocity be negative?

No, the Shear Velocity, measured in Speed cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Shear Velocity?

Shear Velocity is usually measured using the Meter per Second[m/s] for Speed. Meter per Minute[m/s], Meter per Hour[m/s], Kilometer per Hour[m/s] are the few other units in which Shear Velocity can be measured.
