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

Maximum Critical Scour Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Maximum Critical Scour Velocity is the maximum settling velocity.
Acceleration due to Gravity - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - Acceleration due to Gravity is a fundamental physical constant that represents the acceleration of an object due to the force of gravity exerted by the Earth.
Diameter of Particle(Max Critical Scour Velocity) - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of Particle(Max Critical Scour Velocity) is the size of sediment particles that can be moved or eroded by a fluid flow at its maximum critical scour velocity.
Specific Gravity of Particle - Specific Gravity of Particle is the ratio of density of particle to density of standard material.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Acceleration due to Gravity: 9.8 Meter per Square Second --> 9.8 Meter per Square Second No Conversion Required
Diameter of Particle(Max Critical Scour Velocity): 0.839 Meter --> 0.839 Meter No Conversion Required

What is Settling Velocity?

The velocity reached by a particle as it falls through a fluid, dependent on its size and shape, and the difference between its specific gravity and that of the settling medium; used to sort particles by grain size.

How to Calculate Maximum Critical Scour Velocity?

Maximum Critical Scour Velocity calculator uses Maximum Critical Scour Velocity = (4.5*sqrt(Acceleration due to Gravity*Diameter of Particle(Max Critical Scour Velocity)*(Specific Gravity of Particle-1))) to calculate the Maximum Critical Scour Velocity, The Maximum Critical Scour Velocity formula is defined as the highest flow velocity at which the sediment particles on the bed and banks of a water body (such as a river, channel, or estuary) begin to be eroded and transported by the flowing water. This velocity represents a threshold beyond which the stability of the bed and bank materials is compromised, leading to erosion and potential structural damage. Maximum Critical Scour Velocity is denoted by v_maxs symbol.
