This formula uses 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Mean Velocity of Culverts - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Mean Velocity of Culverts is defined as the average velocity of a fluid at a point and over an arbitrary time T.
Bed Slope of Channel - Bed Slope of Channel is used to calculate the shear stress at the bed of an open channel containing fluid that is undergoing steady, uniform flow.
Hydraulic Radius of Channel - (Measured in Meter) - Hydraulic Radius of Channel is the ratio of the cross-sectional area of a channel or pipe in which a fluid is flowing to the wet perimeter of the conduit.
Manning’s Roughness Coefficient - Manning’s Roughness Coefficient represents the roughness or friction applied to the flow by the channel.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Bed Slope of Channel: 0.0127 --> No Conversion Required
Hydraulic Radius of Channel: 0.609 Meter --> 0.609 Meter No Conversion Required
Manning’s Roughness Coefficient: 0.012 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

v_m = sqrt(2.2*S*r_h^(4/3)/(n*n)) --> sqrt(2.2*0.0127*0.609^(4/3)/(0.012*0.012))

Evaluating ... ...

v_m = 10.0079121228537

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

10.0079121228537 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

10.0079121228537 ≈ 10.00791 Meter per Second <-- Mean Velocity of Culverts

What is Rate of Flow?

In physics and engineering, in particular fluid dynamics, the volumetric flow rate is the volume of fluid which passes per unit time; usually it is represented by the symbol Q. The SI unit is cubic metres per second. Another unit used is standard cubic centimetres per minute. In hydrometry, it is known as discharge.
