posed of two intersecting segments, Smith [1977] and Smith and McLean [1977] demonstrate that multiple roughness scales can generate velocity profiles with more than two segments. Thus when form drag is important the constantstress assumption will not be valid. In an earlier paper [Caldwell and Chriss, 1979], we demonstrated the existence of the viscous sublayer in the bottom boundary layer and found a logarithmic layer above it. In examining additional data from the experiment, segmented profiles were found in the logarithmic region (Figures 1 and 2), as expected if form drag influences the flow. When the original data set was reanalyzed, using thinner averaging intervals in the upper portion of the profile and also incorporating both upward and downward traverses, it too shows two distinct logarithmic slopes. (In the original study, only downward traverses were used.) Although deviation from a single logarithmic form is not necessarily large, the slope of the logarithmic regression is significantly different in the two regions, implying that the turbulent stress above is significantly larger than it is nearer the bed.
