Conveyance Function Determined by Manning's Law

LaTeX Go Conveyance Function = (1/Manning’s Roughness Coefficient)*(Cross-Sectional Area)^(5/3)/(Wetted Perimeter)^(2/3)

Wetted Perimeter from Manning's Law

LaTeX Go Wetted Perimeter = ((1/Manning’s Roughness Coefficient)*(Cross-Sectional Area^(5/3)/Conveyance Function))^(3/2)

Cross-sectional Area using Manning's Law

LaTeX Go Cross-Sectional Area = (Conveyance Function*Manning’s Roughness Coefficient*Wetted Perimeter^(2/3))^(3/5)

Friction Slope

LaTeX Go Friction Slope = Instantaneous Discharge^2/Conveyance Function^2
