Method 



Dimensionless parameters were selected that were suitable for the 

 numerical models for which the regression models were destined. Over- 

 topping rate was presented as 



Q [=] cfs/ft = L^r^ 



where 



Q = overtopping rate 



[=] = appropriate dimensional units 



Dimensional parameters affecting overtopping rate include the following: 



/[-]ft = L 



b [=] ft = L 



d [=] ft = L 



H [=] ft = L
