Formulas:
|
•
γw = f (T)
•
ν = f (T)
•
γs = Ss γw
|
•
τ* = (R S) / [ (Ss - 1)ds ]
•
φ = f (τ*)
•
A = [ g ds3 (Ss - 1) ]1/2
•
B = 36 ν 2 / A2
|
• F1 = [ (2/3) + B ]1/2 - B1/2
•
gs = φ F1 A γs
•
Gs = gs W

SI Units (metric): Hydraulic radius R in m; channel width W in m; bottom slope S in m/m;
mean diameter ds in mm; water temperature T in degrees Celsius;
Ss is dimensionless.
U.S. Customary Units: Hydraulic radius R in ft; channel width W in ft; bottom slope S in ft/ft;
mean diameter ds in mm; water temperature T in degrees Farenheit;
