Variables Used
Eddy Loss - Eddy Loss is the loss in fluid current whose flow direction differs from that of the general flow; the motion of the whole fluid is the net result of the movements of the eddies that compose it.
Mean Velocity at End Sections at (1) - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Mean Velocity at End Sections at (1) is denoted by V1 symbol.
Acceleration due to Gravity - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - Acceleration due to Gravity is acceleration gained by an object because of gravitational force.
Mean Velocity at End Sections at (2) - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Mean Velocity at End Sections at (2) is the time average of the velocity of a fluid at a fixed point, over a somewhat arbitrary time interval counted from fixed time.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Mean Velocity at End Sections at (1): 10 Meter per Second --> 10 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Acceleration due to Gravity: 9.8 Meter per Square Second --> 9.8 Meter per Square Second No Conversion Required

What is Slope Area Method?

Slope Area Method is when discharge is computed on the basis of a uniform flow equation involving channel characteristics, water surface profile and a roughness coefficient. The drop in water surface profile for a uniform reach of channel represents losses caused by bed roughness.

What is Eddy Loss?

An eddy is the swirling of fluid, and the reverse current is created when the fluid is in a turbulent flow regime. The moving fluid creates a space devoid of downstream-flowing fluid on the downstream side of the object.
