LAB No. 3: CRITICAL FLOW
- Derive the formula for the critical slope Sc
in a prismatic channel,
starting with the Manning equation:
Q = (k/n) A R2/3 S1/2
in which k = 1 in SI units, and k = 1.486 in U.S Customary units.
- Derive the formula for the critical slope Sc
in a prismatic channel,
starting with the Chezy equation:
Q = C A R1/2 S1/2
