Friction models in open-channel flow

1. Manning formula

           1
V  =  ____ R 2/3 S 1/2  
           n
(1)

2. Chezy formula


V  =  C R 1/2 S 1/2
(2)

3. Dimensionless Chezy


V  =  (C/g 1/2) g 1/2 R 1/2 S 1/2
(3)

4. Quadratic velocity equation


V  =  (C/g 1/2) g 1/2 R 1/2 S 1/2
(4)


V 2  =  (C 2/g) g R S
(5)


ρ V 2  =  (C 2/g) ρ g R S
(6)


ρ V 2  =  (C 2/g) γ R S
(7)


ρ V 2  =  (1/f ) γ R S
(8)


ρ V 2  =  (1/f ) τ
(9)


τ  =  f ρ V 2
(10)

5. Prof. Ponce's friction formula


τ  =  f ρ V 2
(10)


γ D S  =  f ρ V 2
(11)


S  =  f V / (gD) 2
(12)


S  =  f F 2
(13)

6. Darcy-Weisbach formula


hf  =  fD (L / D) [V 2 / (2g)]
(14)


S  =  fD [V 2 / (2g D)]
(15)


S  =  fD [V 2 / (8 g R]
(16)


S  =  (fD / 8) (V 2 / g R)
(17)


g R S  =  (fD / 8) V 2
(18)


τ  =  (fD / 8) ρ V 2
(19)


τ  =  f ρ V 2
(20)
