Abstract: The bottom mean resistance coefficient for the flow of solitary waves is derived from considerations of energy dissipation, and is obtained from measurements of the attenuation of wave amplitude along a channel. A theoretical expression for the resistance coefficient is developed for the case of laminar flow from the linearized equations of motion and is verified by experiments. Dimensional analysis is used in deriving the empirical relationships which describe the mean resistance coefficient for both laminar and rough turbulent flows.
