Hydraulic Radius of Flow Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Hydraulic Radius of Triangular Channel = (Depth of Flow of Triangle Channel*Side Slope of Triangular Channel)/(2*sqrt(Side Slope of Triangular Channel^2+1))
R_H(Δ) = (d_f(Δ)*z_Tri)/(2*sqrt(z_Tri^2+1))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Hydraulic Radius of Triangular Channel - (Measured in Meter) - Hydraulic Radius of Triangular 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.
Depth of Flow of Triangle Channel - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Flow of Triangle Channel is the distance from the top or surface of the flow to the bottom of a channel or other waterway or Depth of Flow at the Vertical while measuring Sound Weights.
Side Slope of Triangular Channel - Side Slope of Triangular Channel is how far a channel drops over a horizontal distance.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Depth of Flow of Triangle Channel: 3.33 Meter --> 3.33 Meter No Conversion Required
Side Slope of Triangular Channel: 0.99 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

R_H(Δ) = (d_f(Δ)*z_Tri)/(2*sqrt(z_Tri^2+1)) --> (3.33*0.99)/(2*sqrt(0.99^2+1))

Evaluating ... ...

R_H(Δ) = 1.17140175553698

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.17140175553698 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.17140175553698 ≈ 1.171402 Meter <-- Hydraulic Radius of Triangular Channel
