In open channel flow, the wetted perimeter is defined as the surface of the channel bottom and sides in direct contact with the aqueous body. Friction losses typically increase with an increasing wetted perimeter, resulting in a decrease in head . [ 1 ]
The parallel sides are called the bases of the trapezoid. The other two sides are called the legs (or the lateral sides) if they are not parallel; otherwise, the trapezoid is a parallelogram, and there are two pairs of bases. A scalene trapezoid is a trapezoid with no sides of equal measure, [3] in contrast with the special cases below.
Open from top by definition so that the wetted perimeter consists of the 3 sides of the duct (2 on the side and the base). D H = 4 a b 2 a + b {\displaystyle D_{\text{H}}={\frac {4ab}{2a+b}}} For the limiting case of a very wide duct, i.e. a slot of width b , where b ≫ a , and a is the water depth, then D H = 4 a .
Cross sectional area of a trapezoidal open channel, red highlights the wetted perimeter, where water is in contact with the channel.The hydraulic diameter is the equivalent circular configuration with the same circumference as the wetted perimeter.
The formula for the area of a trapezoid can be simplified using Pitot's theorem to get a formula for the area of a tangential trapezoid. If the bases have lengths a, b, and any one of the other two sides has length c, then the area K is given by the formula [2] (This formula can be used only in cases where the bases are parallel.)

Given a channel, a pair of two horizontal lines, a trapezoid between these lines is defined by two points on the top and two points on the bottom line. A graph is a trapezoid graph if there exists a set of trapezoids corresponding to the vertices of the graph such that two vertices are joined by an edge if and only if the corresponding ...
