Hydraulic Depth Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Hydraulic Depth = Wetted Surface Area of Channel/Top Width
DHydraulic = A/T
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Hydraulic Depth - (Measured in Meter) - Hydraulic Depth is defined as depth which in contact with water.
Wetted Surface Area of Channel - (Measured in Square Meter) - Wetted Surface Area of Channel [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.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Wetted Surface Area of Channel: 25 Square Meter --> 25 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Top Width: 2.1 Meter --> 2.1 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
DHydraulic = A/T --> 25/2.1
Evaluating ... ...
DHydraulic = 11.9047619047619
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
11.9047619047619 Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
11.9047619047619 11.90476 Meter <-- Hydraulic Depth
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

6 Hydraulic Depth Calculators

Wetted Perimeter given Hydraulic Mean Depth
Go Wetted Perimeter of Channel = Wetted Surface Area of Channel/Hydraulic Radius of Channel
Hydraulic Radius or Hydraulic Mean Depth
Go Hydraulic Radius of Channel = Wetted Surface Area of Channel/Wetted Perimeter of Channel
Wetted Area given Hydraulic Mean Depth
Go Wetted Surface Area of Channel = Hydraulic Radius of Channel*Wetted Perimeter of Channel
Wetted Area given Hydraulic Depth
Go Wetted Surface Area of Channel = Hydraulic Depth*Top Width
Top Width given Hydraulic Depth
Go Top Width = Wetted Surface Area of Channel/Hydraulic Depth
Hydraulic Depth
Go Hydraulic Depth = Wetted Surface Area of Channel/Top Width

Hydraulic Depth Formula

Hydraulic Depth = Wetted Surface Area of Channel/Top Width
DHydraulic = A/T

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.

How to Calculate Hydraulic Depth?

Hydraulic Depth calculator uses Hydraulic Depth = Wetted Surface Area of Channel/Top Width to calculate the Hydraulic Depth, The Hydraulic Depth formula is defined as the area cross-section of water in a pipe or channel divided by the wetting perimeter. Hydraulic Depth is denoted by DHydraulic symbol.

How to calculate Hydraulic Depth using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Hydraulic Depth, enter Wetted Surface Area of Channel (A) & Top Width (T) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Hydraulic Depth calculation can be explained with given input values -> 12.5 = 25/2.1.
