Channel conveyance — conveyance • rivr

Calculate the channel conveyance.

conveyance(n, A, R, Cm)

Arguments

n: Manning's roughness coefficient (dimensionless).
A: Flow area [\(L^2\)].
R: Hydraulic radius [\(L\)].
Cm: Unit conversion coefficient for Manning's equation. For SI units, Cm = 1.

Value

The channel conveyance.

Details

Channel conveyance is routinely calculated in numerical solutions of steady, gradually-varied and unsteady flows. This function is used extensively by internal procedures and is made accessible to the user for convenience.
