Tcir = dsection*sin(θAngle/2)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables
Functions Used
sin - Sine is a trigonometric function that describes the ratio of the length of the opposite side of a right triangle to the length of the hypotenuse., sin(Angle)
Variables Used
Top Width of Circular Channel - (Measured in Meter) - Top Width of Circular Channel is defined as width at top of section.
Diameter of Section - (Measured in Meter) - The Diameter of Section refers to the length of the segment that passes through the center of the circle and touches two points on the edge of the circle.
Subtended Angle in Radians - (Measured in Radian) - Subtended Angle in Radians is the angle made by something from a given viewpoint.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Diameter of Section: 5 Meter --> 5 Meter No Conversion Required
Subtended Angle in Radians: 3.14 Degree --> 0.0548033385126116 Radian (Check conversion ​here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Geometrical Properties of Circular Channel Section Calculators

Diameter of Section given Wetted Area
​ LaTeX ​ Go Diameter of Section = sqrt(((180/pi)*(Subtended Angle in Radians)-(8*Wetted Surface Area of Circular Channel))/sin(Subtended Angle in Radians))
Wetted Area for Circle
​ LaTeX ​ Go Wetted Surface Area of Circular Channel = (1/8)*((180/pi)*Subtended Angle in Radians-sin(Subtended Angle in Radians)*(Diameter of Section^2))
Diameter of Section given Wetted Perimeter
​ LaTeX ​ Go Diameter of Section = Wetted Perimeter of Channel/(0.5*Subtended Angle in Radians*(180/pi))
Angle of Sector given Wetted Perimeter
​ LaTeX ​ Go Subtended Angle in Radians = Wetted Perimeter of Channel/(0.5*Diameter of Section)*(pi/180)

Top Width for Circle Formula

​LaTeX ​Go
Top Width of Circular Channel = Diameter of Section*sin(Subtended Angle in Radians/2)
Tcir = dsection*sin(θAngle/2)

What is Open Channel Flow?

Open-channel flow, a branch of hydraulics and fluid mechanics, is a type of liquid flow within a conduit or in channel with a free surface, known as a channel. The other type of flow within a conduit is pipe flow. These two types of flow are similar in many ways but differ in one important respect: the free surface.
