Manning's Formula for Hydraulic Radius given Average Velocity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Hydraulic Radius of Channel = (Average Velocity of Uniform Flow*Manning’s Roughness Coefficient/sqrt(Bed Slope))^(3/2)
R_H = (V_avg(U)*n/sqrt(S))^(3/2)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 4 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 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 Uniform Flow - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Average Velocity of Uniform Flow is defined as the mean of all different velocities.
Manning’s Roughness Coefficient - Manning’s Roughness Coefficient represents the roughness or friction applied to the flow by the channel.
Bed Slope - Bed Slope is used to calculate the shear stress at the bed of an open channel containing fluid that is undergoing steady, uniform flow.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Average Velocity of Uniform Flow: 0.796 Meter per Second --> 0.796 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Manning’s Roughness Coefficient: 0.012 --> No Conversion Required
