Hydraulic Mean Depth of Triangular Section Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Hydraulic Mean Depth of Triangular Section = (Depth of Canal with Trapezoidal Cross Section^2*(Side Slope+cot(Side Slope)))/(2*Depth of Canal with Trapezoidal Cross Section*(Side Slope+cot(Side Slope)))
H = (y^2*(θ+cot(θ)))/(2*y*(θ+cot(θ)))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

cot - Cotangent is a trigonometric function that is defined as the ratio of the adjacent side to the opposite side in a right triangle., cot(Angle)

Variables Used

Hydraulic Mean Depth of Triangular Section - (Measured in Meter) - Hydraulic Mean Depth of Triangular Section or hydraulic radius is the ratio of area of flow to the wetted perimeter. It is represented by m.
Depth of Canal with Trapezoidal Cross Section - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of canal with trapezoidal cross section.
Side Slope - (Measured in Radian) - Side slope is the slope of the cut or fill expressed as the ratio of horizontal distance to vertical distance.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Depth of Canal with Trapezoidal Cross Section: 1.635 Meter --> 1.635 Meter No Conversion Required
Side Slope: 45 Degree --> 0.785398163397301 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

H = (y^2*(θ+cot(θ)))/(2*y*(θ+cot(θ))) --> (1.635^2*(0.785398163397301+cot(0.785398163397301)))/(2*1.635*(0.785398163397301+cot(0.785398163397301)))

Evaluating ... ...

H = 0.8175

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.8175 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.8175 Meter <-- Hydraulic Mean Depth of Triangular Section

What is Normal Hydraulic Depth?

Normal depth is the depth at which uniform flow will occur in an open channel. In other words, for a uniform channel of infinite length, carrying a constant flow rate, flow in the channel would be at a constant depth at all points along the channel, and this would be the normal depth.

Is Hydraulic Radius and Hydraulic Mean Depth same?

A high hydraulic radius value indicates that the channel contains a lower volume of contact fluid and a greater cross-sectional area. These conditions result in increased flow velocity and capacity, as well as improved channel efficiency. Another term sometimes used for this quantity is hydraulic mean depth.
