The input variables required for this calculation is the following:

  • L/Di -- Ratio of roughness element spacing divided by the diameter of the culvert opening at the roughness element. (Range = .05 to 1.5)
  • h/Di -- Ratio of roughness element height divided by the diameter of the culvert opening at the roughness element. (Range = .005 to .1).
  • Lr/Pi -- Ratio of the roughness length to inside perimeter (Range = 0.0 to 1.0)
  • Diameter of roughened section (Opening, Di)


The following figure shows the flow regimes and variables for an increased resistance energy dissipator implemented in a circular culvert.

Variables from the figure

  • L -- Length from beginning of one roughness element to the beginning of the next roughness element.
  • h -- height of roughness element
  • Di -- diameter of roughened section (opening)
