2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is the formula for calculating hydraulic radius?
Think about what each component represents.
Define wetted perimeter.
Consider how water interacts with the channel.
What does the hydraulic radius measure?
Recall the formula for hydraulic radius.
True or False: The hydraulic radius decreases as the wetted perimeter increases.
Think about the relationship in the formula for R.
For a circular pipe with a diameter of 1 m, what is the hydraulic radius? Then compare this with a rectangular channel having a width of 2 m and depth of 1 m.
Remember: diameter in circular channels relates differently to area and perimeter.
Design a trapezoidal channel with a base width of 3 m, a depth of 2 m, and side slopes of 1:2. Calculate the hydraulic radius and explain its implications in flow dynamics.
Break down the channel design into the base area and the lateral areas for easier computation.
