Aflow of 12 m/s passes through a 6 m wide, 2 m deep rectangular channel with a bed slope of 0. 001. if the mean velocity of flow is 1 m/s, what is the manning's coefficient?

manning's coefficient is 0.0357

Explanation:

Given:

Velocity of flow, v = 12 m/s

Width of the channel, b = 6 m

Depth of the channel, d = 2 m

bed slope, s = 0.001

mean velocity of flow, V = 1 m/s

now, the velocity is given as:

where,

n is the manning's coefficient

R is hydraulic mean depth

R = (Area of the channel) / (wetted Perimeter of the channel)

now,

R = (2 × 6) / ((2 × 2) + 6)

or

R = 12 / 10 = 1.2 m

now, on substituting the values in the equation for velocity, we get

or

or

n = 0.0357

hence, the value of manning's coefficient is 0.0357
