| The input variables required for this calculation is the following:
| | #redirect [[HY8:Increased_Resistance_in_Culverts#Increased_Resistance_in_Circular_Culverts]] |
| | |
| * L/D<sub>i</sub> — Ratio of roughness element spacing divided by the diameter of the culvert opening at the roughness element. (Range = .05 to 1.5)
| |
| * h/D<sub>i</sub> — Ratio of roughness element height divided by the diameter of the culvert opening at the roughness element. (Range = .005 to .1).
| |
| * L<sub>r</sub>/P<sub>i</sub> — Ratio of the roughness length to inside perimeter (Range = 0.0 to 1.0)
| |
| * Diameter of roughened section (Opening, D<sub>i</sub>)
| |
| | |
| | |
| The following figure shows the flow regimes and variables for an increased resistance energy dissipator implemented in a circular culvert.

| | |
| * L — Length from beginning of one roughness element to the beginning of the next roughness element.
| |
| * h — height of roughness element
| |
| * D<sub>i</sub> — diameter of roughened section (opening)
