Bed Slope of Channel Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Bed Slope of Channel = (Silt Factor^(5/3))/(3340*Discharge for Regime Channel^(1/6))
S = (f^(5/3))/(3340*Q^(1/6))
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Bed Slope of Channel - Bed slope of channel used to calculate the shear stress at the bed of an open channel containing fluid that is undergoing steady, uniform flow.
Silt Factor - Silt factor indicates the type of bed material from clay to heavy sand.
Discharge for Regime Channel - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge for Regime Channel is a stream channel if it is transporting water and sediment in equilibrium such that there is neither scour of the channel bed.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Silt Factor: 4.22 --> No Conversion Required
Discharge for Regime Channel: 35 Cubic Meter per Second --> 35 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

S = (f^(5/3))/(3340*Q^(1/6)) --> (4.22^(5/3))/(3340*35^(1/6))

Evaluating ... ...

S = 0.00182430008093383

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.00182430008093383 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.00182430008093383 ≈ 0.001824 <-- Bed Slope of Channel

Why is a Bed Slope provided for an Open Channel?

The depth–slope product is used to calculate the shear stress at the bed of an open channel containing fluid that is undergoing steady, uniform flow. It is widely used in river engineering, stream restoration, sedimentology, and fluvial geomorphology.

How do you find the Slope of a Channel Bed?

The channel bed slope is the angle of the channel bed surface relative to the horizontal. It may or may not be parallel to the water's surface. This angle can be found by measuring the change in channel bed elevation between two points along the stream.
