Hydraulic Depth Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Hydraulic Depth = Wetted Surface Area of Channel/Top Width
D_Hydraulic = A/T
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Hydraulic Depth - (Measured in Meter) - Hydraulic Depth is defined as depth which in contact with water.
Wetted Surface Area of Channel - (Measured in Square Meter) - Wetted Surface Area of Channel [length^2] is the total area of outer surface in contact with the surrounding water.
Top Width - (Measured in Meter) - Top Width is defined as the width at the top of the section.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Wetted Surface Area of Channel: 25 Square Meter --> 25 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Top Width: 2.1 Meter --> 2.1 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

D_Hydraulic = A/T --> 25/2.1

Evaluating ... ...

D_Hydraulic = 11.9047619047619

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

11.9047619047619 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

11.9047619047619 ≈ 11.90476 Meter <-- Hydraulic Depth

What is Open Channel Flow?

Open-channel flow, a branch of hydraulics and fluid mechanics, is a type of liquid flow within a conduit or in channel with a free surface, known as a channel. The other type of flow within a conduit is pipe flow. These two types of flow are similar in many ways but differ in one important respect: the free surface.

How to Calculate Hydraulic Depth?

Hydraulic Depth calculator uses Hydraulic Depth = Wetted Surface Area of Channel/Top Width to calculate the Hydraulic Depth, The Hydraulic Depth formula is defined as the area cross-section of water in a pipe or channel divided by the wetting perimeter. Hydraulic Depth is denoted by D_Hydraulic symbol.

How to calculate Hydraulic Depth using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Hydraulic Depth, enter Wetted Surface Area of Channel (A) & Top Width (T) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Hydraulic Depth calculation can be explained with given input values -> 12.5 = 25/2.1.

FAQ

What is Hydraulic Depth?

The Hydraulic Depth formula is defined as the area cross-section of water in a pipe or channel divided by the wetting perimeter and is represented as D_Hydraulic = A/T or Hydraulic Depth = Wetted Surface Area of Channel/Top Width. Wetted Surface Area of Channel [length^2] is the total area of outer surface in contact with the surrounding water & Top Width is defined as the width at the top of the section.
