Discharge given Depth at Gauging Station Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Discharge = (Depth at Gauging Station-Cease-to-Flow Depth-Terms of Order^2)/Head at Control
Q = (h_G-h_csf-Q²^2)/H_c
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - The Discharge refers to the volumetric flow rate of water that is transported through a given cross-sectional area. It includes any suspended solids, dissolved chemicals, or biologic material.
Depth at Gauging Station - (Measured in Meter) - Depth at Gauging Station where the hydraulics of a downstream control and a gauging station are considered.
Cease-to-Flow Depth - (Measured in Meter) - Cease-to-Flow Depth when hydraulics of a downstream control and a gauging station are considered.
Terms of Order - Terms of Order give the head loss between the gauging station and the control.
Head at Control - (Measured in Meter) - Head at Control shown as a function of discharge Q.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Depth at Gauging Station: 6.01 Meter --> 6.01 Meter No Conversion Required
Cease-to-Flow Depth: 0.1 Meter --> 0.1 Meter No Conversion Required
Terms of Order: 2.4 --> No Conversion Required
Head at Control: 0.05 Meter --> 0.05 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Q = (h_G-h_csf-Q²^2)/H_c --> (6.01-0.1-2.4^2)/0.05

Evaluating ... ...

Q = 3.00000000000001

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3.00000000000001 Cubic Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

3.00000000000001 ≈ 3 Cubic Meter per Second <-- Discharge
