Variables from the figure

  • D — Diameter of original culvert
  • Vn — Tailwater velocity
  • yn — Tailwater depth
  • L — Length from beginning of one roughness element to the beginning of the next roughness element.
  • h — Height of roughness element
  • h1 — length from top of roughness element to enlarged culvert ceiling
  • h2 — height of splash shield on enlarged culvert ceiling.
  • h3 — rise of enlarged culvert.
