Manning

This document presents Manning's formula for calculating discharge in open channel flow. It defines the variables used in the formula such as cross-sectional area, hydraulic radius, coefficient of roughness, slope, and discharge. It also provides the formula for calculating hydraulic radius and examples of applying the formula to calculate discharge for a 0.5 foot diameter pipe and a trapezoidal channel.

*S

Q = Discharge (cu. ft./sec.)


A = Cross-sectional Area of Flow (sq. ft.)
n = Coefficient of Roughness
R = Hydraulic Radius (ft.)
S = Slope of Pipe (ft./ft.)

Hydraulic Radius
R=A/P
R = Hydraulic Radius (ft.)
A = Cross-sectional Area of Flow (sq. ft.)
P = Wetted perimeter (ft.)
