Abstract
Abstract
In uniform flows, Manning's roughness coefficient n plays an important role in the calculation of the normal depth in the open channels. When calculating uniform flows in open conduits and channels, Manning's coefficient is arbitrarily chosen. This arbitrary choice is not physically justified because the coefficient n must be determined according to the parameters that influence the flow, particularly the normal depth sought. In this paper, a new method is presented to compute Manning's coefficient in a truncated triangular channel section. In the first step, the study proposes to establish the general relationship that allows computing Manning's coefficient in this type of channel. The relationship is presented in dimensionless terms, giving it a character of general validity, including the dimensionless Manning's resistance coefficient, denoted as N. The latter is shown to depend on the aspect ratio of the wetted area, the side slope of the channel, the relative roughness and the modified Reynolds number, which is physically justified since flow resistance is closely related to flow depth. In the second step, the rough model method is proposed to express Manning's coefficient when the horizontal dimension of the channel is not a given data of the problem.
