Open Channel Flow Example
Channel details
Bed slope; S0 = 0.005000; (1 in 200)
Channel section 1
Wetted perimeter; P1 = 102.240 m
Area of flow; A1 = 152.250 m2
Manning roughness factor; n1 = 0.040
Hydraulic radius; R1 = A1 / P1 = 1.489 m
Discharge; Q1 = A1 (R1 / 1 m)2/3 S01/2 1 m/s / n1 = 350.973 m3/s
Channel section 2
Wetted perimeter; P2 = 54.000 m
Area of flow; A2 = 340.000 m2
Manning roughness factor; n2 = 0.030
Hydraulic radius; R2 = A2 / P2 = 6.296 m
Discharge; Q2 = A2 (R2 / 1 m)2/3 S01/2 1 m/s / n2 = 2732.537 m3/s
