Constants
Specific weight of sand = 2650 M/m³
Specific weight of water = 9810 N/m³, but alters with water temperature
g (gravitational acceleration) = 9.81 m/s²
Kinematic Viscosity (m²/s) = 0.00000114, but varies with temperature
Median Grain Diameter of Sediment Bed = Determine from sand used
Other Equations
Channel cross-sectional area (m²) = Average channel width (m) x Average channel
depth (m)
Wetted perimeter (m) = bed width (m) + 2 x bank height (m)
Hydraulic radius (m) = Channel cross-sectional area (m
