The input variables required for this calculation are the following:

  • h/ri—Ratio of roughness element height divided by hydraulic radius taken about the top of the roughness element.
  • Height of the roughened section (h)


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)
