Maximum Velocity Averaged over Entire Cross-Section Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Max Velocity averaged Over Inlet Cross Section = Point Measurement of Maximum Velocity*(Hydraulic Radius/Depth of Water at Current Meter Location)^(2/3)
V_avg = V_meas*(r_H/D)^(2/3)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Max Velocity averaged Over Inlet Cross Section - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Max Velocity averaged Over Inlet Cross Section entirely [length/time] depends on point measurement of maximum velocity, hydraulic radius and depth of water at current meter location.
Point Measurement of Maximum Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Point measurement of Maximum Velocity [length/time] depends on max velocity averaged over inlet cross section, hydraulic radius and depth of water at current meter location.
Hydraulic Radius - (Measured in Meter) - The Hydraulic Radius is the ratio of the cross-sectional area of a channel or pipe in which a fluid flows to the conduit's wet perimeter.
Depth of Water at Current Meter Location - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Water at Current Meter Location [length] where current meter is used to measure water velocity at predetermined points.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Point Measurement of Maximum Velocity: 25.34 Meter per Second --> 25.34 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Hydraulic Radius: 0.33 Meter --> 0.33 Meter No Conversion Required
Depth of Water at Current Meter Location: 8.1 Meter --> 8.1 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_avg = V_meas*(r_H/D)^(2/3) --> 25.34*(0.33/8.1)^(2/3)

Evaluating ... ...

V_avg = 3.00026229774066

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3.00026229774066 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

3.00026229774066 ≈ 3.000262 Meter per Second <-- Max Velocity averaged Over Inlet Cross Section

What is Inlet Flow Patterns?

An Inlet has a "gorge" where flows converge before they expand again on the opposite side. Shoal (shallow) areas that extend bayward and oceanward from the gorge depend on inlet hydraulics, wave conditions, and general geomorphology. All these interact to determine flow patterns in and around the inlet and locations where flow channels occur.

What is Tidal Prism?

A Tidal Prism is the volume of water in an estuary or inlet between mean high tide and mean low tide, or the volume of water leaving an estuary at ebb tide. It can also be thought of as the volume of the incoming tide plus the river discharge.
