Critical Depth given Depth of Parabolic Channel Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Critical Depth = (Depth/1.55)
d_c = (d/1.55)
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

Critical Depth - (Measured in Meter) - Critical Depth occurs when the flow in a channel has a minimum specific energy. Specific energy refers to the sum of the depth of flow and the velocity head.
Depth - (Measured in Meter) - Depth is the distance from the top or surface to the bottom of something.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Depth: 4.04 Meter --> 4.04 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

d_c = (d/1.55) --> (4.04/1.55)

Evaluating ... ...

d_c = 2.60645161290323

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.60645161290323 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.60645161290323 ≈ 2.606452 Meter <-- Critical Depth

What is Critical Depth?

Critical depth is also the depth of maximum discharge, when the specific energy is held constant.Critical depth is defined as the depth of flow where energy is at a minimum for a particular discharge.

How to Calculate Critical Depth given Depth of Parabolic Channel?

Critical Depth given Depth of Parabolic Channel calculator uses Critical Depth = (Depth/1.55) to calculate the Critical Depth, The Critical Depth given Depth of Parabolic Channel formula is defined as the depth of flow in an open channel (in this case, a parabolic channel) where the flow velocity and depth meet a specific condition where the flow regime changes. For a parabolic channel, this is the depth at which the flow achieves critical flow conditions. Critical Depth is denoted by d_c symbol.

How to calculate Critical Depth given Depth of Parabolic Channel using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Critical Depth given Depth of Parabolic Channel, enter Depth (d) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Critical Depth given Depth of Parabolic Channel calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.935484 = (4.04/1.55).

FAQ

What is Critical Depth given Depth of Parabolic Channel?

The Critical Depth given Depth of Parabolic Channel formula is defined as the depth of flow in an open channel (in this case, a parabolic channel) where the flow velocity and depth meet a specific condition where the flow regime changes. For a parabolic channel, this is the depth at which the flow achieves critical flow conditions and is represented as d_c = (d/1.55) or Critical Depth = (Depth/1.55). Depth is the distance from the top or surface to the bottom of something.

How to calculate Critical Depth given Depth of Parabolic Channel?

The Critical Depth given Depth of Parabolic Channel formula is defined as the depth of flow in an open channel (in this case, a parabolic channel) where the flow velocity and depth meet a specific condition where the flow regime changes. For a parabolic channel, this is the depth at which the flow achieves critical flow conditions is calculated using Critical Depth = (Depth/1.55). To calculate Critical Depth given Depth of Parabolic Channel, you need Depth (d). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Depth and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.

How many ways are there to calculate Critical Depth?

In this formula, Critical Depth uses Depth. We can use 3 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -

Critical Depth = ((Critical Velocity)^2/Acceleration due to Gravity)
Critical Depth = (Environmental Discharge/(Width of Throat*Critical Velocity))
Critical Depth = ((Environmental Discharge)^2/(Acceleration due to Gravity*(Width of Throat)^2))^(1/3)
