2. What is the flow velocity of a parabolic swale if the peak rate of runoff
is 49 ft3/s and the cross-sectional area is 14 ft2?
1st) find R
1.486
4= X𝑅2/3x0.0351/2
0.05
R=0.61ft
2nd) find A
Q=AV
91=4A, A=91/4 ft3
3rd)
Initial trial depth: D=1.5R
𝑊^2𝐷
R=1.5𝑊 2+4𝐷^2=0.6090…ft
(close to the previous R=0.61ft caculated from a velocity of 4ft/s)
Width Determination
∴Design dimensions are W=37.3ft, d=0.915ft
