Manning open channel flow rate Replace the sample data with

estimates open channel average flow velocity based on roughness, hydraulic radius and slope.

v=1nRh2/3S1/2v=\frac1n R_h^{2/3}S^{1/2}

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.
