How to Calculate Hydraulic Radius of Section?
Hydraulic Radius of Section calculator uses Hydraulic Radius of Trapezoidal Channel = ((Width of Trap Channel+Side slope of Trapezoidal Channel*Depth of Flow of Trapezoidal Channel)*Depth of Flow of Trapezoidal Channel)/(Width of Trap Channel+2*Depth of Flow of Trapezoidal Channel*sqrt(Side slope of Trapezoidal Channel^2+1)) to calculate the Hydraulic Radius of Trapezoidal Channel, The Hydraulic Radius of Section is defined as the ratio of area to perimeter of section which is in contact with water called as wetted. Hydraulic Radius of Trapezoidal Channel is denoted by RH(Trap) symbol.
How to calculate Hydraulic Radius of Section using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Hydraulic Radius of Section, enter Width of Trap Channel (Btrap), Side slope of Trapezoidal Channel (ztrap) & Depth of Flow of Trapezoidal Channel (df(trap)) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Hydraulic Radius of Section calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.649831 = ((3.8105+0.577*3.32)*3.32)/(3.8105+2*3.32*sqrt(0.577^2+1)).
