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 Section Factor?
Side Slope of Section given Section Factor calculator uses Side Slope of Triangular Channel = Section Factor of Triangular Channel/(((Depth of Flow of Triangle Channel^2.5))/sqrt(2)) to calculate the Side Slope of Triangular Channel, The Side Slope of Section given Section Factor is defined as slope of sides of channel from vertical of section. Side Slope of Triangular Channel is denoted by zTri symbol.
How to calculate Side Slope of Section given Section Factor using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Side Slope of Section given Section Factor, enter Section Factor of Triangular Channel (ZΔ) & Depth of Flow of Triangle Channel (df(Δ)) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Side Slope of Section given Section Factor calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.978436 = 14/(((3.33^2.5))/sqrt(2)).
