Insert the information in the form and the calculator will determine the hydraulic radius.
What is the hydraulic radius?
Hydraulic radius is the area of the flow section divided by the wetted perimeter. It is expressed as Rh.
How to calculate hydraulic radius?
To calculate hydraulic radius you should use the following formula:
Rh = A / P
where:
A = area of section flow
P = wetted perimeter
Why use hydraulic radius?
The hydraulic radius is used in order to determine how much water can flow through the channel.
