Width of Throat given Critical Depth Formula Elements

Variables
Functions
Width of Throat
Width of Throat is the narrowest section of a conduit or channel, such as in a venturi meter or flume.
Symbol: Wt
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Environmental Discharge
Environmental Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid.
Symbol: Qe
Measurement: Volumetric Flow RateUnit: m³/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Acceleration due to Gravity
Acceleration due to Gravity is a fundamental physical constant that represents the acceleration of an object due to the force of gravity exerted by the Earth.
Symbol: g
