Critical Depth given Depth of Parabolic Channel Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Critical Depth = (Depth/1.55)
CD = (D/1.55)
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

Critical Depth - (Measured in Meter) - Critical depth occurs when the flow in a channel has a minimum specific energy. Specific energy refers to the sum of the depth of flow and the velocity head.
Depth - (Measured in Meter) - Depth is the distance from the top or surface to the bottom of something.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Depth: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

CD = (D/1.55) --> (3/1.55)

Evaluating ... ...

CD = 1.93548387096774

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.93548387096774 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.93548387096774 ≈ 1.935484 Meter <-- Critical Depth

< 5 Critical Depth Calculators

Critical Depth at Different Discharges

Go Critical Depth = ((Environmental Discharge)^2/(Acceleration due to Gravity*(Width of throat)^2))^(1/3)

Critical Depth given Discharge through Control Section

Go Critical Depth = (Environmental Discharge/(Width of throat*Critical Velocity))

Critical Depth given Maximum Discharge

Go Critical Depth = (Peak Discharge/(Width of throat*Critical Velocity))

Critical Depth in Control Section

Go Critical Depth = ((Critical Velocity)^2/Acceleration due to Gravity)

Critical Depth given Depth of Parabolic Channel

Go Critical Depth = (Depth/1.55)

Critical Depth given Depth of Parabolic Channel Formula

Critical Depth = (Depth/1.55)
CD = (D/1.55)
