4711. CHANNEL Documentation
- CHANNEL will calculate critical and normal
depth and velocity in trapezoidal, triangular, or rectangular
prismatic channels using Newton's approximation.
- Click the YES radio button if you are using SI units;
click NO if you are using U.S. customary units.
- In SI units, use meters and cubic meters
per second; in U.S. customary units, use feet and cubic feet per second.
- The program will prompt you
to enter discharge Q, bottom width B, side slope z, bottom slope S
and Manning n.
- Discharge and bottom slope have to be greater than 0.
- Bottom width and side slope have to be greater than or equal to 0.
- Manning's n is limited between 0.008 and 0.250.
- To specify a triangular channel, enter bottom width B equal to 0.
- To specify a rectangular channel, enter side slope z equal to 0.
- Enter bottom slope S in dimensionless form (Example: 0.003).
- The program reports critical depth and velocity, and normal depth,
velocity, and Froude number.
