What is a Triangular Section in Open Channel?
Triangular Channel is an open channel with a triangular cross section where one of the sides is vertical and the other inclined. The flow routing through a Channel Connection is described in Analysis of Connections. Parameters to specify: Length, Slope, Manning's n, Height, Side Slope, see Connection Inputs. Note: Flow at normal depth in culverts often presents the highest average velocities and shallowest depths at that flow.
How to Calculate Hydraulic Depth for Triangle?
Hydraulic Depth for Triangle calculator uses Hydraulic Depth of Triangular Channel = 0.5*Depth of Flow of Triangle Channel to calculate the Hydraulic Depth of Triangular Channel, The Hydraulic Depth for Triangle is defined as the area to top width ratio in the wetted condition as that is attached with water in flow. Hydraulic Depth of Triangular Channel is denoted by DH(Δ) symbol.
How to calculate Hydraulic Depth for Triangle using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Hydraulic Depth for Triangle, enter Depth of Flow of Triangle Channel (df(Δ)) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Hydraulic Depth for Triangle calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.665 = 0.5*3.33.
