Fish Passage in Large Culverts With Low Flow

APPENDIX A. DATA SUMMARY

The following tables summarize CFD velocity distributions compared with distributions computed from fitted and estimated parameters for the 3-, 6-, and 8-ft culvert runs. One 6-ft and several 8-ft runs were not completed because of schedule or budget reasons. These are indicated by "n/a" (not available) in the tables.
