Manning open channel flow rate Replace the sample data with
estimates open channel average flow velocity based on roughness, hydraulic radius and slope.
symbols, variables and units
v: m/s; R_h: m; S: energy slope; SI lower n: s/m⅓.
applicable conditions and boundaries
Empirical formula for stable and uniform open channel flow; n needs to be calibrated according to channel conditions.
