The effect of bottom friction on shallow-water flow past an isolated obstacle

The effect of bottom friction on fluid flow past an isolated obstacle is examined in the shallow-water framework. The controlling parameter for the effect is the nondimensional bottom friction number, which is defined as the ratio of friction to inertia.
