Formula Used
Top Width = Wetted Surface Area of Parabola/((2/3)*Depth of Flow)
T = APara/((2/3)*df)
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Top Width - (Measured in Meter) - Top Width is defined as the width at the top of the section.
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.
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
Wetted Surface Area of Parabola: 4.62 Square Meter --> 4.62 Square Meter No Conversion Required

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.
