How to Evaluate Kutter's Formula?

Kutter's Formula evaluator uses Velocity of Flow in Meter = (1/Rugosity Coefficient+(23+(0.00155/Bed Slope of Channel))/(1+(23+(0.00155/Bed Slope of Channel)))*(Rugosity Coefficient/sqrt(Hydraulic Mean Depth in Meters)))*(sqrt(Hydraulic Mean Depth in Meters*Bed Slope of Channel)) to evaluate the Velocity of Flow in Meter, The Kutter's Formula formula is defined as the value of the velocity depending on the roughness of the channel, depth is considered not to effect N to any appreciable extent in alluvial soils, S= water surface slope, and R = mean hydraulic radius or depth (m). Velocity of Flow in Meter is denoted by V symbol.

FAQs on Kutter's Formula

What is the formula to find Kutter's Formula?
The formula of Kutter's Formula is expressed as Velocity of Flow in Meter = (1/Rugosity Coefficient+(23+(0.00155/Bed Slope of Channel))/(1+(23+(0.00155/Bed Slope of Channel)))*(Rugosity Coefficient/sqrt(Hydraulic Mean Depth in Meters)))*(sqrt(Hydraulic Mean Depth in Meters*Bed Slope of Channel)). Here is an example- 1.536432 = (1/0.0177+(23+(0.00155/0.000333))/(1+(23+(0.00155/0.000333)))*(0.0177/sqrt(2.22)))*(sqrt(2.22*0.000333)).
How to calculate Kutter's Formula?
With Rugosity Coefficient (n), Bed Slope of Channel (S) & Hydraulic Mean Depth in Meters (R) we can find Kutter's Formula using the formula - Velocity of Flow in Meter = (1/Rugosity Coefficient+(23+(0.00155/Bed Slope of Channel))/(1+(23+(0.00155/Bed Slope of Channel)))*(Rugosity Coefficient/sqrt(Hydraulic Mean Depth in Meters)))*(sqrt(Hydraulic Mean Depth in Meters*Bed Slope of Channel)). This formula also uses Square Root (sqrt) function(s).
