What is Hydraulic Mean Depth?
Hydraulic Mean Depth, or hydraulic radius, is the ratio of the cross-sectional area of fluid flow to the wetted perimeter in a channel or pipe. It's a key parameter in fluid dynamics, used to determine flow characteristics like velocity and discharge. In open channel flow, it influences resistance, energy loss, and overall efficiency, making it vital for designing and analyzing water conveyance systems.
How to Calculate Discharge of Full Flow given Hydraulic Mean Depth for Partial flow?
Discharge of Full Flow given Hydraulic Mean Depth for Partial flow calculator uses Discharge when Pipe is Running Full = Discharge when Pipe is Running Partially Full/((Roughness Coefficient for Running Full/Roughness Coefficient Partially Full)*(Area of Partially Full Sewers/Area of Running Full Sewers)*(Hydraulic Mean Depth for Partially Full/Hydraulic Mean Depth while Running Full)^(1/6)) to calculate the Discharge when Pipe is Running Full, Discharge of Full Flow given Hydraulic Mean Depth for Partial flow is defined as the volume of fluid passing through a completely filled pipe per unit time, depending on velocity and area. Discharge when Pipe is Running Full is denoted by Q symbol.
How to calculate Discharge of Full Flow given Hydraulic Mean Depth for Partial flow using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Discharge of Full Flow given Hydraulic Mean Depth for Partial flow, enter Discharge when Pipe is Running Partially Full (q), Roughness Coefficient for Running Full (N), Roughness Coefficient Partially Full (np), Area of Partially Full Sewers (a), Area of Running Full Sewers (A), Hydraulic Mean Depth for Partially Full (rpf) & Hydraulic Mean Depth while Running Full (Rrf) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Discharge of Full Flow given Hydraulic Mean Depth for Partial flow calculation can be explained with given input values -> 52.47123 = 17.48/((0.74/0.9)*(3.8/5.4)*(3.2/5.2)^(1/6)).
