Question 1

What does the term 'wetted perimeter' refer to?

  • A. The total area of flow
  • B. The length of the channel in contact with water
  • C. The channel's slope

💡 Hint: It’s about the surface area in contact with the liquid.

Question 2

True or False: Manning's n value decreases with rougher channel surfaces.

  • True

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A trapezoidal channel has a bottom width of 5 m, side slopes of 1:2, and a depth of 2 m. The bottom slope is 0.0015, and n = 0.01. Calculate the flow rate Q.

💡 Hint: Break down the channel dimensions step by step during your calculations.

Question 2

For a channel with variable roughness (n1 = 0.02, n2 = 0.025), find the effective Manning parameter if the sections have areas of 4 m² and 6 m² respectively.

💡 Hint: Consider how each rough section contributes to the total resistance.
