Hydraulic roughness refers to the resistance to flow that occurs due to the irregularities and roughness of a surface through which a fluid, typically water, is flowing. This concept is primarily used in hydraulic engineering, sediment transport studies, and fluid mechanics. In open channel flow, for instance, the roughness of the channel bed and banks affects the velocity and energy loss of the water moving through it.
