Note: the Strickler coefficient is the reciprocal of Manning coefficient: Ks =1/ n, having dimension of L 1/3 /T and units of m 1/3 /s; it varies from 20 m 1/3 /s (rough stone and rough surface) to 80 m 1/3 /s (smooth concrete and cast iron). The discharge formula, Q = A V, can be used to rewrite Gauckler–Manning's equation by substitution for V.
Hydraulic roughness is the measure of the amount of frictional resistance water experiences when passing over land and channel features. [1] It quantifies the impact of surface irregularities and obstructions on the flow of water. One roughness coefficient is Manning's n-value. [2]
However, an important assumption is taken that Manning’s Roughness coefficient ‘n’ is independent to the depth of flow while calculating these values. Also, the dimensional curve of Q/Q(full) shows that when the depth is greater than about 0.82D, then there are two possible different depths for the same discharge, one above and below the ...
In civil engineering practice, the Manning formula is more widely used than Stricker’s dimensionally homogeneous form of the equation. However, Strickler’s observations on the influence of surface roughness and the concept of relative roughness are common features of a variety of formulas used to estimate hydraulic roughness.

This similarity between the Chézy and Manning formulas shown above also means that the standardized Manning coefficients may be used to estimate open channel flow velocity with the Chézy formula, [1] [2] [7] by using them to calculate the Chézy's coefficient as shown below. Manning derived [5] the following relationship between Manning ...
The Blasius correlation is the simplest equation for computing the Darcy friction factor. Because the Blasius correlation has no term for pipe roughness, it is valid only to smooth pipes. However, the Blasius correlation is sometimes used in rough pipes because of its simplicity. The Blasius correlation is valid up to the Reynolds number 100000.
Robert Manning. Robert Manning (22 October 1816 – 9 December 1897) was an Irish hydraulic engineer best known for creation of the Manning formula. Manning was born in Normandy, France, the son of a soldier who had fought the previous year at the Battle of Waterloo. In 1826 he moved to Waterford, Ireland and in time worked as an accountant.
C is a roughness coefficient; R is the hydraulic radius (in ft for US customary units, in m for SI units) S is the slope of the energy line (head loss per length of pipe or h f /L) The equation is similar to the Chézy formula but the exponents have been adjusted to better fit data from typical engineering situations.
