CRITICAL FLOW EQUATIONS*

(1) Qc = SQRT(gA3/T),

(5) Hec = Yc + Vc/2g,

(8) Sc = 14.56nA/(R1.33)T,

(2) Ac = (b + ZYc)Yc,

(6) Hp = Hec(1 + aL),

(9) R = (b + ZYc)Yc/(b + 2YcSQRT(1 + Z))

(3) Vc = SQRT(gA/T),

(7) a = (4.32n)/Hec1.33,

(4) T = b + 2ZYc
* The Critical Flow Equations were obtained from SCS TR-2 dated 1956 and the Handbook of Hydraulics (Brater & King, 6 ed., page 8-16).
