The paper presents results of numerical calculations of drag coefficients of large spherical solid particles. Several hydraulic cases were tested. The first one - the spheres were fixed at different heights above a rough bed of an open channel, the second one - the spheres moved along the channel bed and the third one - the sphere impacted and rebounded from a smooth surface. Finite Volume and Lattice Boltzmann methods were used for the simulations. The Particle Image Velocimetry (2D-PIV) was used to determine the velocity field in the open channel.
