Minimum Critical Scour Velocity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Minimum Critical Scour Velocity = (3*sqrt(Acceleration due to Gravity*Diameter of Particle(Min Critical Scour Velocity)*(Specific Gravity of Particle-1)))
v_mins = (3*sqrt(g*D_p*(G-1)))
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

Minimum Critical Scour Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Minimum Critical Scour Velocity is the minimum 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(Min Critical Scour Velocity) - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of Particle(Min Critical Scour Velocity) is the size of sediment particles that can be moved or eroded by a fluid flow at its minimum 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(Min Critical Scour Velocity): 0.02765 Meter --> 0.02765 Meter No Conversion Required
Specific Gravity of Particle: 15.99 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

v_mins = (3*sqrt(g*D_p*(G-1))) --> (3*sqrt(9.8*0.02765*(15.99-1)))

Evaluating ... ...

What is Settling Velocity?

The settling velocity (also referred to as the “sedimentation velocity”) is defined as the terminal velocity of a particle in still fluid.

How to Calculate Minimum Critical Scour Velocity?

Minimum Critical Scour Velocity calculator uses Minimum Critical Scour Velocity = (3*sqrt(Acceleration due to Gravity*Diameter of Particle(Min Critical Scour Velocity)*(Specific Gravity of Particle-1))) to calculate the Minimum Critical Scour Velocity, The Minimum Critical Scour Velocity formula is defined as the lowest velocity at which the water flow begins to erode the bed material in a channel or river. This velocity is critical because it represents the threshold at which sediment particles on the bed are dislodged and transported downstream, leading to scour. Minimum Critical Scour Velocity is denoted by v_mins symbol.

How to calculate Minimum Critical Scour Velocity using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Minimum Critical Scour Velocity, enter Acceleration due to Gravity (g), Diameter of Particle(Min Critical Scour Velocity) (D_p) & Specific Gravity of Particle (G) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Minimum Critical Scour Velocity calculation can be explained with given input values -> 6.048219 = (3*sqrt(9.8*0.02765*(15.99-1))).

FAQ

What is Minimum Critical Scour Velocity?
