nc3 | R Documentation |
This function computes the composite Manning's n using the Lotter method.
nc3(P, n, R)
P |
numeric vector that contains "wetted perimeters of any section i" |
n |
numeric vector that contains "Manning's n of any section i" |
R |
numeric vector that contains "hydraulic radius of any section i" |
"A composite value of Manning's n for a single channel; that is, for the main channel only of a compound channel or a canal with laterally varying roughness."
The equation to find Manning's composite n using the Lotter method is
n_c = \frac{PR^\frac{5}{3}}{\sum \limits_{i=1}^N \frac{P_i R_i^\frac{5}{3}}{n_i}}
n_c
Manning's composite n
"wetted perimeters of the entire cross section"
"hydraulic radius of the entire cross section"
P_i
"wetted perimeters of any section i"
R_i
"hydraulic radius of any section i"
n_i
"Manning's n of any section i"
"total number of sections into which the wetted perimeters and hydraulic radius are divided"
numeric vector that contains nc3 as Manning's composite n.
