Hydraulic Radius in Design of Parabolic Grit Chamber Formulas

Hydraulic Radius is the ratio of the cross-sectional area of a channel or pipe in which a fluid is flowing to the wet perimeter of the conduit. And is denoted by R. Hydraulic Radius is usually measured using the Meter for Length. Note that the value of Hydraulic Radius is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Hydraulic Radius?

Hydraulic Radius is the ratio of the cross-sectional area of a channel or pipe in which a fluid is flowing to the wet perimeter of the conduit. Hydraulic Radius is usually measured using the Meter for Length. Note that the value of Hydraulic Radius is always positive.

Can the Hydraulic Radius be negative?

No, the Hydraulic Radius, measured in Length cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Hydraulic Radius?

Hydraulic Radius is usually measured using the Meter[m] for Length. Millimeter[m], Kilometer[m], Decimeter[m] are the few other units in which Hydraulic Radius can be measured.
