Drag coefficient has been commonly used as a quantifying parameter to represent the vegetative drag, i.e., resistance to the flow by vegetation. In this study, the measured data on the drag coefficient for rigid vegetation in subcritical open-channel flow reported in previous studies are collected and preprocessed for multi-parameter analysis. The effect of Froude number (Fr) on the drag coefficient for rigid vegetation in subcritical flow cannot be ignored, especially when. The drag coefficient is observed to exponentially decrease with the stem Reynolds number (Rd) and logarithmically decreased with the vegetation density (λ) when. The relative submergence (h*) has a significant effect on the drag coefficient, and a positive logarithmic relationship is summarized. A simplified three-stage empirical formula is obtained based on the divisions ofFr. Laboratory tests (with) prove that the present empirical model has higher precision compared with existing models.
