From page 81...
... 81 a = empirical coefficient to power law relationship A = sectional flow area of culvert barrel or channel [L2] A1 = control volume cross-sectional flow area at location 1 (see Figure 4-1)
From page 82...
... 82 Hwi = headwater depth upstream of a culvert relative to the culvert invert (or streambed for a buried-invert culvert) at the inlet [L]
From page 83...
... 83 x′ = exponent applied to Rh in basic uniform-flow equation y = flow depth y′ = exponent applied to S in basic uniform-flow equation yaverage = average channel profile flow depth [L] ycalculated = flow depth calculated by the GVF computer program ymeasured = measured flow depth yn = normal depth [L]
