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 Hydraulic Radius?
Side Slope of Section given Hydraulic Radius calculator uses Side Slope of Triangular Channel = sqrt((4*(Hydraulic Radius of Triangular Channel^2))/((Depth of Flow of Triangle Channel^2)-(4*Hydraulic Radius of Triangular Channel^2))) to calculate the Side Slope of Triangular Channel, The Side Slope of Section given Hydraulic Radius is defined as the elevation of channel sides in channel flow. Side Slope of Triangular Channel is denoted by zTri symbol.
How to calculate Side Slope of Section given Hydraulic Radius using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Side Slope of Section given Hydraulic Radius, enter Hydraulic Radius of Triangular Channel (RH(Δ)) & Depth of Flow of Triangle Channel (df(Δ)) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Side Slope of Section given Hydraulic Radius calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.982674 = sqrt((4*(1.167^2))/((3.33^2)-(4*1.167^2))).
