FAQ

What is the Critical Depth?
Critical Depth occurs when the flow in a channel has a minimum specific energy. Specific energy refers to the sum of the depth of flow and the velocity head. Critical Depth is usually measured using the Meter for Length. Note that the value of Critical Depth is always positive.
Can the Critical Depth be negative?
No, the Critical Depth, measured in Length cannot be negative.
What unit is used to measure Critical Depth?
Critical Depth is usually measured using the Meter[m] for Length. Millimeter[m], Kilometer[m], Decimeter[m] are the few other units in which Critical Depth can be measured.
