Class CircularChannel

java.lang.Object
hec.rss.model.Channel
hec.rss.model.CircularChannel
All Implemented Interfaces:
AsciiSerializable, FieldAccessor, Serializable
public class CircularChannel extends Channel
CircularChannel is used to compute flow characteristics of uniform circular channels. Flow is computed, assuming kinematic flow conditions, using the formula: Q = alpha * area ** 1.25 alpha = (.503 / n) * SQRT (slope) * diameter ** (1/6) This formula is valid for area invalid input: '<' 0.65 * diameter**2, or depth invalid input: '<'= 0.771 * diameter. Top width is assumed to be constant for depth > 0.771 * diameter.
