What is Hydraulic Radius?
Hydraulic radius, R, a measure of channel flow efficiency, is defined as the ratio of the cross-sectional area of fluid flow, A, to the length of the wetted perimeter, P. The hydraulic radius is one of the main properties that control the amount of fluid discharge of a channel and its ability to move sediments.
How to Calculate Hydraulic Radius given Angle?
Hydraulic Radius given Angle calculator uses Hydraulic Radius of Circular Channel = 0.25*Diameter of Section*(1-sin(Subtended Angle in Radians)/(180/pi)*Subtended Angle in Radians) to calculate the Hydraulic Radius of Circular Channel, Hydraulic Radius given Angle formula is defined as ratio of wetted area to that of wetted perimeter of channel section. Hydraulic Radius of Circular Channel is denoted by Rh(cir) symbol.
How to calculate Hydraulic Radius given Angle using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Hydraulic Radius given Angle, enter Diameter of Section (dsection) & Subtended Angle in Radians (θAngle) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Hydraulic Radius given Angle calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.249935 = 0.25*5*(1-sin(0.0548033385126116)/(180/pi)*0.0548033385126116).
