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 Top Width for Triangle?
Top Width for Triangle calculator uses Top Width of Triangular Channel = 2*Depth of Flow of Triangle Channel*Side Slope of Triangular Channel to calculate the Top Width of Triangular Channel, The Top Width for Triangle formula is defined as the length of top surface on the channel measured in the direction perpendicular to the flow. Top Width of Triangular Channel is denoted by TTri symbol.
