Average Height of Roughness Protrusions given Mean Velocity of flow in Rough Channels Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Roughness Value = Hydraulic Radius of Channel/(10^(((Average Velocity of Turbulent flow/Shear Velocity)-6.25)/5.75))
R_a = R_H/(10^(((V_avg(Tur)/V_shear)-6.25)/5.75))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Roughness Value - (Measured in Meter) - Roughness Value is the arithmetic average of the absolute values of the roughness profile ordinates.
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.
Average Velocity of Turbulent flow - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Average Velocity of Turbulent flow is defined as the mean of all different velocities.
Shear Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Shear Velocity refers to the measure of the shear stress exerted by the fluid flow on the boundary, such as the bed of a river or the walls of a pipe.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Hydraulic Radius of Channel: 1.6 Meter --> 1.6 Meter No Conversion Required
Average Velocity of Turbulent flow: 380 Meter per Second --> 380 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Shear Velocity: 9 Meter per Second --> 9 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

R_a = R_H/(10^(((V_avg(Tur)/V_shear)-6.25)/5.75)) --> 1.6/(10^(((380/9)-6.25)/5.75))

Evaluating ... ...

R_a = 8.87322175487257E-07

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

8.87322175487257E-07 Meter -->0.000887322175487257 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

0.000887322175487257 ≈ 0.000887 Millimeter <-- Roughness Value

What is Turbulent Flow?

In fluid dynamics, turbulence or turbulent flow is fluid motion characterized by chaotic changes in pressure and flow velocity. It is in contrast to a laminar flow, which occurs when a fluid flows in parallel layers, with no disruption between those layers.
