Hydraulic Channel Design Guide

This document provides information on Lacey's and Kennedy's Regime Theories for calculating channel dimensions. For Lacey's method, given data on discharge, particle size, and side slopes are used to calculate the perimeter, silt factor, slope, hydraulic radius, area, depth, and width of the channel. For Kennedy's method, given data on discharge, particle size, longitudinal slope, and side slope are used to assume a depth and then calculate critical velocity, area, breadth, hydraulic radius, Chezy's constant, flow velocity, and check if it matches the assumed velocity.
