Width of Channel given Depth of Flow in Efficient Channel

Go Width of Trap Channel = (sqrt((Side slope of Trapezoidal Channel^2)+1))*2*Depth of Flow-2*Depth of Flow*Side slope of Trapezoidal Channel

Depth of Flow in most Efficient Channel in Trapezoidal Channel given Channel Slope

Go Depth of Flow = (Width of Trap Channel*0.5)/(sqrt((Side slope of Trapezoidal Channel^2)+1)-Side slope of Trapezoidal Channel)

Width of Channel in Most Efficient Channel when Bottom width is kept constant

Go Width of Trap Channel = Depth of Flow*((1-(Side slope of Trapezoidal Channel^2))/Side slope of Trapezoidal Channel)

Depth of Flow when Width of Channel in Most Efficient Channel for Bottom Width is kept Constant

Go Depth of Flow = Width of Trap Channel*Side slope of Trapezoidal Channel/(1-(Side slope of Trapezoidal Channel^2))

Side Slope of Section given Wetted Area for Bottom Width is kept Constant

Go Side slope of Trapezoidal Channel = Depth of Flow*Depth of Flow/Wetted Surface Area of Trapezoidal Channel

Wetted Area in Most Efficient Channel for Bottom Width is kept Constant

Go Wetted Surface Area of Trapezoidal Channel = Depth of Flow*Depth of Flow/Side slope of Trapezoidal Channel

Side Slope of Section for Depth of Flow is kept Constant

Go Side slope of Trapezoidal Channel = 1/sqrt(3)*Depth of Flow/Depth of Flow

Depth of Flow given Wetted Area in Most Efficient Channel for Bottom Width is kept Constant

Go Depth of Flow = (Side slope of Trapezoidal Channel*Wetted Surface Area of Trapezoidal Channel)^(1/2)

Depth of Flow in most Efficient Channel in Trapezoidal Channel

Go Depth of Flow = Width of Trap Channel/(2/sqrt(3))

Width of Channel in most Efficient Channel sections

Go Width of Trap Channel = (2/sqrt(3))*Depth of Flow

Width of Channel in most Efficient Channels section

Go Width of Trap Channel = (2/sqrt(3))*Depth of Flow

Depth of Flow given Hydraulic Radius in Most Efficient Trapezoidal Channel

Go Depth of Flow = Hydraulic Radius of Channel*2

Hydraulic Radius of Most Efficient Channel

Go Hydraulic Radius of Channel = Depth of Flow/2

Hydraulic Radius of Most Efficient Channel Formula

Hydraulic Radius of Channel = Depth of Flow/2
R_H = d_f/2

What is Depth of Flow?

Normal depth is the depth of flow in a channel or culvert when the slope of the water surface and channel bottom is the same and the water depth remains constant. Note: Flow at normal depth in culverts often presents the highest average velocities and shallowest depths at that flow.
