Calculate the corresponding hydraulic mean depth that would exist in the channel if the bed was unrippled. The rugosity coefficient in an unrippled channel is 0.015 and the rugosity coefficient actually observed by experiments on the rippled bed of channel is 0.020. Consider the value of hydraulic mean depth of the channel as 1.5 m.

Greg · Answer 1 · 2023-08-25T14:41:46+0000

Right answer is (d) 2.5 m

Best explanation: Using Lacey’s equation:

R = 5/2 (V^2/f) where V = 1 m/sec and f = silt factor = 1.

R = 2.5 m.

Calculate the value of hydraulic mean radius for a channel designed by Lacey’s theory which has a mean velocity of 1m/sec. The silt factor can be taken as unity.
