Tests were conducted in a 4-by 6-ft concrete conduit at Rend Lake Dam, Big Muddy River, Illinois, in September 1973 to investigate turbulent flow characteristics in a rectangular conduit on a full scale and to provide data for future design work. Two cantilevered velocity probes were used to measure horizontal velocity profiles at 6 points along the inlet region. Piezometric head was measured with embedded piezometers at 12 points along the entire length of the conduit. Average velocity of flow in the conduit was 27ft/sec, and the average Reynolds number was 1.25 x 10?. Velocity distributions in the boundary layer were in good agreement with a log-linear velocity profile equation. The coefficients in the velocity profile equation and the shear stress become constant at X/D ? 20. Equivalent sand grain roughness values were about the same as those determined by other investigators for circular conduits of comparable size and construction.
