What is a Triangular Section in Open Channel?
Triangular Channel is an open channel with a triangular cross section where one of the sides is vertical and the other inclined. The flow routing through a Channel Connection is described in Analysis of Connections. Parameters to specify: Length, Slope, Manning's n, Height, Side Slope, see Connection Inputs.
How to Calculate Side Slope of Section given Wetted Area?
Side Slope of Section given Wetted Area calculator uses Side Slope of Triangular Channel = Wetted Surface Area of Triangular Channel/(Depth of Flow of Triangle Channel*Depth of Flow of Triangle Channel) to calculate the Side Slope of Triangular Channel, The Side Slope of Section given Wetted Area is defined as the slope of section measured from vertical. Side Slope of Triangular Channel is denoted by zTri symbol.
How to calculate Side Slope of Section given Wetted Area using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Side Slope of Section given Wetted Area, enter Wetted Surface Area of Triangular Channel (ATri) & Depth of Flow of Triangle Channel (df(Δ)) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Side Slope of Section given Wetted Area calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.982063 = 10.89/(3.33*3.33).
