  2. Standard step method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Step_Method

    Standard step method. The standard step method (STM) is a computational technique utilized to estimate one-dimensional surface water profiles in open channels with gradually varied flow under steady state conditions. It uses a combination of the energy, momentum, and continuity equations to determine water depth with a given a friction slope ...

  3. Maximum operating depth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_operating_depth

    The formula simply divides the absolute partial pressure of oxygen which can be tolerated (expressed in atm or bar) by the fraction of oxygen in the breathing gas, to calculate the absolute pressure at which the mix can be breathed. (for example, 50% nitrox can be breathed at twice the pressure of 100% oxygen, so divide by 0.5, etc.).

  4. Sedimentation (water treatment) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedimentation_(water...

    Since the surface area of the tank is WL, and v s = Q/WL, v h = Q/WH, where Q is the flow rate and W, L, H is the width, length, depth of the tank. According to Eq. 1, this also is a basic factor that can control the sedimentation tank performance which called overflow rate. [13]

  5. Shallow water equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shallow_water_equations

    For example, for a rectangular cross section, with constant channel width B and channel bed elevation z b, the cross sectional area is: A = B (ζ − z b) = B h. The instantaneous water depth is h(x,t) = ζ(x,t) − z b (x), with z b (x) the bed level (i.e. elevation of the lowest point in the bed above datum, see the cross-section figure).

  6. Under keel clearance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Under_keel_clearance

    Under keel clearance (UKC) is the term and calculations used in seafaring to ensure sufficient navigable water is available for ships at sea. [1][2][3][4] It is most commonly described as the height and width of available water below the keel (hull of a ship). [3][5] More simply, it can be described as how much water is left between the bottom ...

  7. Barlow's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barlow's_formula

    Barlow's formula (called "Kesselformel" [1] in German) relates the internal pressure that a pipe [2] can withstand to its dimensions and the strength of its material. This approximate formula is named after Peter Barlow , an English mathematician .

  8. Draft (hull) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft_(hull)

    Draft markings on the stern of the Cutty Sark, an example of the Imperial system of such markings. The draft or draught of a ship is a determined depth of the vessel below the waterline, measured vertically to its hull's lowest—its propellers, or keel, or other reference point. [1] Draft varies according to the loaded condition of the ship.

  9. Drainage equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drainage_equation

    A drainage equation is an equation describing the relation between depth and spacing of parallel subsurface drains, depth of the watertable, depth and hydraulic conductivity of the soils. It is used in drainage design. Parameters in Hooghoudt's drainage equation. A well known steady-state drainage equation is the Hooghoudt drain spacing equation.
