Abstract
Large-eddy simulations are carried out in turbulent open-channel flows to determine the roughness function and the equivalent sand-grain roughness height, ks, over sand-grain roughness and different types of realistic roughness replicated from hydraulic turbine blades. A range of Reynolds numbers and mean roughness heights is chosen, leading to both transitionally and fully rough regimes. The start of the fully rough regime is shown to depend on the roughness type, and ks depends strongly on the surface topography. We then examine several existing correlations that predict ks based on the information of the surface geometry. In the cases where the surface slope is an important parameter, the moments of surface height statistics do not predict the roughness function, while the existing forms of slope-based correlations perform well. The range of applicability of various correlations is shown to vary with the roughness topography, as the critical value of the effective slope, separating the waviness and roughness regimes, is shown to be higher for a realistic surface, compared to the value for the more regular types of roughness that were previously studied.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
