Manning's coefficient or constant Formula

LaTeX Go

Manning’s Coefficient for Open Channel Flow = (1/Chezy's Constant for Flow in Open Channel)*Hydraulic Mean Depth for Open Channel^(1/6)
n = (1/C)*m^(1/6)

What is a Manning's constant?

Manning's n value is a unitless coefficient that represents the roughness or friction factor of the conduit. Rougher conduits with higher friction have a higher value, and smoother conduits with lower friction have a lower value.

What is Bazin's constant?

The basin's constant is dependent on the roughness of the channel surface. More the roughness of the surface, the higher is the value of Bazin's Constant.
