How this service works
Manning flow, velocity and hydraulic radius for rectangular, trapezoidal, triangular or part-full circular channels, SI or US.
Output
Returns computed flow rate Q (in m³/s or ft³/s), mean velocity, hydraulic radius, flow area, top width, wetted perimeter, and a plain-language summary of the hydraulic conditions. Also includes the input echo (shape, depth, slope, n, units), a verdict or warning if inputs are outside typical limits, and a degraded flag if results may be approximate.
Example use cases
Irrigation canal design check
“I'm designing a trapezoidal irrigation canal with a bottom width of 1.5 metres, side slopes of 1.5 horizontal to 1 vertical, flow depth of 1.2 metres, Manning n of 0.025, and a bed slope of 0.0005. Can you calculate the discharge, velocity, and hydraulic radius in SI units?”
Concrete storm-sewer culvert sizing
“For a circular concrete pipe culvert with a diameter of 1.2 metres flowing at a depth of 0.9 metres, Manning n of 0.013, and slope of 0.003, what is the Manning flow rate and velocity in SI units?”
Natural earthen drainage ditch assessment
“I have a triangular earthen drainage ditch with side slopes of 2:1, a flow depth of 0.6 feet, Manning roughness of 0.035, and a channel slope of 0.004. Give me the discharge and velocity in US customary units.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://hydrology-calc.x402tookit.com/manning-flow?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need uniform (normal) flow calculations using Manning's equation for a known cross-section geometry and flow depth. It is ideal for engineering checks on channel capacity, velocity, and hydraulic radius across rectangular, trapezoidal, triangular, or circular shapes in both SI and US units. Prefer companion endpoints on the same host for solving normal depth from a known discharge, computing critical depth, or evaluating Froude number.
Side effects
- Missing required parameters (shape, depth, n, slope) returns a validation error
- Depth exceeding pipe diameter for circular shape causes rejection
- Invalid shape string returns an error
- Extreme slope or roughness values outside physically reasonable bounds may return a degraded or warning verdict
- Unsupported unit string (not 'si' or 'us') may cause failure
- Part-full circular depth very close to full-pipe diameter may produce numerical instability
