HY8:Increased Resistance in Circular Culverts: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 16:05, 26 February 2014

The input variables required for this calculation is the following:

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

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
D_i — diameter of roughened section (opening)
