This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Cross-Sectional Area of Channel - (Measured in Square Meter) - Cross-Sectional Area of Channel is the area of a two-dimensional shape that is obtained when a three-dimensional shape is sliced perpendicular to some specified axis at a point.
Conveyance Factor - Conveyance factor is the ratio of the discharge, Q, in a channel to the square root of the energy gradient, Sf.
Manning’s Roughness Coefficient - Manning’s Roughness Coefficient represents the roughness or friction applied to the flow by the channel.
Hydraulic Radius of Channel - (Measured in Meter) - Hydraulic Radius of Channel is the ratio of the cross-sectional area of a channel or pipe in which a fluid is flowing to the wet perimeter of the conduit.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Conveyance Factor: 700 --> No Conversion Required
Manning’s Roughness Coefficient: 0.012 --> No Conversion Required
Hydraulic Radius of Channel: 1.6 Meter --> 1.6 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

A_cs = C_f/((1/n)*(R_H^(2/3))) --> 700/((1/0.012)*(1.6^(2/3)))

Evaluating ... ...

A_cs = 6.14043725024702

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

6.14043725024702 Square Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

6.14043725024702 ≈ 6.140437 Square Meter <-- Cross-Sectional Area of Channel

What is Wetted Area?

The surface area that interacts with the working fluid or gas. In maritime use, the wetted area is the area of the hull which is immersed in water. In aeronautics, the wetted area is the area which is in contact with the external airflow. This has a direct relationship on the overall aerodynamic drag of the aircraft.
