Hi all,
I am currently studying civil hydraulics in my civil engineering course and we are going through estimating critical shear stresses for sediments. I am confused about the difference between boundary shear stress and particle shear stress. In terms of estimating critical shear stress, is there a difference between using particle shear stress and using boundary shear stress?
How would our results differ by choosing boundary/particle shear stress to begin with?
Thanks everyone in advance!
