What is the hydraulic radius?
- A.
It is a term used to describe the shape of a channel. It is the ratio between the length of the wetted perimeter and and the cross-section area.
- B.
It is the friction with the bed and banks. The turbulence reduces energy.
- C.
It is the speed at which water flows along a river.
- D.
