The paper consists of three parts. I) Estimation model for projecting rock height distribution on the river bed; To normalize the figure of the bed which is extremely varies with river location, the projecting height distribution is calculated by astocastic model. II) Similitude for roughness coefficiant; To keep the kinematical similitude, it is necessary to satisfy, the following five restic condions, tr=xrhr-1 (Froude rule)(1), Qr=xrhr3/2 (discharge rule)(2), lb=hrxr-1 (geometric rule)(3), τor/ρr=Rrhrxr-1 (boundary shear stress rule) or nr=Rr2/3xr-1/2 (Mannings rule)(4), αr=1 (velocity distribution rule)(5), (r is the.ratio of the model to the proto type, ) If Fr, Ibr and nr are satisfied, it was substantiated to get Manning's n for the prototype. III) Hydraulic stracture of roughness: To estimate the represent roughness length forthe distributed diameter, a hydraulic stracture of the roughness was discussed.
