Top Width for Parabola Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Top Width = 1.5*Wetted Surface Area of Parabola/Depth of Flow
T = 1.5*APara/df
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Top Width - (Measured in Meter) - Top Width is defined as the width at the top of the section.
Wetted Surface Area of Parabola - (Measured in Square Meter) - Wetted Surface Area of Parabola [length^2] is the total area of outer surface in contact with the surrounding water.
Depth of Flow - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Flow is the distance from the top or surface of the flow to the bottom of a channel or other waterway or Depth of Flow at the Vertical while measuring Sound Weights.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Wetted Surface Area of Parabola: 4.62 Square Meter --> 4.62 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Depth of Flow: 3.3 Meter --> 3.3 Meter No Conversion Required

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.
