Wetted Area given Hydraulic Depth Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Wetted Surface Area of Channel = Hydraulic Depth*Top Width
A = DHydraulic*T
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
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.
Hydraulic Depth - (Measured in Meter) - Hydraulic Depth is defined as depth which in contact with 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
Hydraulic Depth: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required
Top Width: 2.1 Meter --> 2.1 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
A = DHydraulic*T --> 3*2.1
Evaluating ... ...
A = 6.3
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
6.3 Square Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
6.3 Square Meter <-- Wetted Surface Area of Channel
(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

Wetted Area given Hydraulic Depth Formula

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

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.
