Wetted Area Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Wetted Surface Area of Parabola = (2/3)*Top Width*Depth of Flow
A_Para = (2/3)*T*d_f
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

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.
Top Width - (Measured in Meter) - Top Width is defined as the width at the top of the section.
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

Top Width: 2.1 Meter --> 2.1 Meter No Conversion Required
Depth of Flow: 3.3 Meter --> 3.3 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

A_Para = (2/3)*T*d_f --> (2/3)*2.1*3.3

Evaluating ... ...

A_Para = 4.62

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

4.62 Square Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

4.62 Square Meter <-- Wetted Surface Area of Parabola

What is Wetted Area ?

The surface area that interacts with the working fluid or gas. In maritime use, the wetted area is the area of the hull which is immersed in water. In aeronautics, the wetted area is the area which is in contact with the external airflow. This has a direct relationship on the overall aerodynamic drag of the aircraft.

How to Calculate Wetted Area?
