Depth at Gauging Station Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

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.
Head at Control - (Measured in Meter) - Head at Control shown as a function of discharge Q.
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.
Terms of Order - Terms of Order give the head loss between the gauging station and the control.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Cease-to-Flow Depth: 0.1 Meter --> 0.1 Meter No Conversion Required
Head at Control: 0.05 Meter --> 0.05 Meter No Conversion Required
Discharge: 3 Cubic Meter per Second --> 3 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Terms of Order: 2.4 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

h_G = h_csf+H_c*(Q)+Q²^2 --> 0.1+0.05*(3)+2.4^2

Evaluating ... ...

h_G = 6.01

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

6.01 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

6.01 Meter <-- Depth at Gauging Station
