This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Hydraulic Radius of Channel - (Measured in Meter) - Hydraulic Radius of Channel is the ratio of the cross-sectional area of a channel or pipe in which a fluid is flowing to the wet perimeter of the conduit.
Average Velocity of Turbulent flow - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Average Velocity of Turbulent flow is defined as the mean of all different velocities.
Shear Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Shear Velocity refers to the measure of the shear stress exerted by the fluid flow on the boundary, such as the bed of a river or the walls of a pipe.
Roughness Value - (Measured in Meter) - Roughness Value is the arithmetic average of the absolute values of the roughness profile ordinates.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Average Velocity of Turbulent flow: 380 Meter per Second --> 380 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Shear Velocity: 9 Meter per Second --> 9 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Roughness Value: 0.001 Millimeter --> 1E-06 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

R_H = (10^(((V_avg(Tur)/V_shear)-6.25)/5.75))*R_a --> (10^(((380/9)-6.25)/5.75))*1E-06

Evaluating ... ...

R_H = 1.80317819637652

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.80317819637652 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.80317819637652 ≈ 1.803178 Meter <-- Hydraulic Radius of Channel
