Flood Coefficient given Flood Discharge Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Flood Coefficient = (Flood Discharge/(Catchment Area for Flood Discharge)^(Flood Index))
C_F = (Q_fe/(A_fd)^(n))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Flood Coefficient - Flood Coefficient refers to a constant value which depend upon catchment and flood characteristic.
Flood Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Flood discharge refers to the volume of water flowing through a river or stream during a flood event, typically measured in m³/s or cfs.
Catchment Area for Flood Discharge - (Measured in Square Meter) - Catchment Area for Flood Discharge refers to an area of land where all water flows to a single stream, river, lake or even ocean.
Flood Index - The flood Index refers to the severity of a flood event, considering factors like water level, flow rate, and impacted area, for comparative analysis.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Flood Discharge: 1.08 Cubic Meter per Second --> 1.08 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Catchment Area for Flood Discharge: 2 Square Meter --> 2 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Flood Index: 3.1 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C_F = (Q_fe/(A_fd)^(n)) --> (1.08/(2)^(3.1))

Evaluating ... ...

C_F = 0.125959453857469

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.125959453857469 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.125959453857469 ≈ 0.125959 <-- Flood Coefficient

Catchment Area given Flood Discharge

Go Catchment Area for Flood Discharge = (Flood Discharge/(Flood Coefficient))^(1/Flood Index)

Flood Coefficient given Flood Discharge

Go Flood Coefficient = (Flood Discharge/(Catchment Area for Flood Discharge)^(Flood Index))

Flood Discharge

Go Flood Discharge = Flood Coefficient*(Catchment Area for Flood Discharge)^(Flood Index)

Flood Frequency given Recurrence Interval

Go Flood Frequency = 100/Recurrence Interval

Flood Coefficient given Flood Discharge Formula

Flood Coefficient = (Flood Discharge/(Catchment Area for Flood Discharge)^(Flood Index))
C_F = (Q_fe/(A_fd)^(n))

What is flood ?

A flood is an overflow of water on normally dry ground. This is most commonly due to an overflowing river, a dam break, snowmelt, or heavy rainfall.
