  2. Standard step method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Step_Method

    During uniform flow, the flow depth is known as normal depth (yn). This depth is analogous to the terminal velocity of an object in free fall, where gravity and frictional forces are in balance (Moglen, 2013). [3] Typically, this depth is calculated using the Manning formula. Gradually varied flow occurs when the change in flow depth per change ...

  3. Spreading resistance profiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spreading_Resistance_Profiling

    Between each measurement, the probes are raised and indexed a pre-determined distance down the bevel. Bevels are produced by mounting the sample on an angle block and grinding the bevel with typically a 0.1- or 0.05-micrometre diamond paste. Bevel angles, chosen to fit the depth of interest, can range from ~ 0.001 to 0.2 radians.

  4. List of drill and tap sizes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_drill_and_tap_sizes

    For both of these rules of thumb (85%/90% and major minus pitch), the tap drill size yielded is not necessarily the only possible one, but it is a good one for general use. The 85% and 90% rules works best in the range of 1 ⁄ 4 –1 in (6.4–25.4 mm), the sizes most important on many shop floors. Some sizes outside that range have different ...

  5. Hydraulic jumps in rectangular channels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_Jumps_in...

    1. y 2 /y 1 > 1: depth increases over the jump so that y 2 > y 1 2. Fr 2 < 1: downstream flow must be subcritical 3. Fr 1 > 1: upstream flow must be supercritical. Table 2 shows the calculated values used to develop Figure 8. The values associated with a y 1 = 1.5 ft are not valid for use since they violate the above limits.

  6. Bulk density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk_density

    This gives a soil sample of known total volume, V t. From this sample the wet bulk density and the dry bulk density can be determined. [7] For the wet bulk density (total bulk density) this sample is weighed, giving the mass M t. For the dry bulk density, the sample is oven dried and weighed, giving the mass of soil solids, M s.

  7. Drawdown (hydrology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drawdown_(hydrology)

    Aquifer is an underground layer of permeable rock or sand, that hold or transmit groundwater below the water table that yield a significant supply of water to a well. [ 4 ] Aquifer test (or a pumping test) is a field experiment in which a well is pumped at a controlled rate and the aquifer's response (drawdown) is measured in one or more ...

  8. Under keel clearance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Under_keel_clearance

    At a basic level, it is typically calculated in metres using the formula: [1] UKC = Charted Depth − Draft-/+ Height of Tide. Ship masters and deck officers can obtain the depth of water from Electronic navigational charts. [5] More dynamic or advanced calculations include safety margins for manoeuvring effects and squat. [7]

  9. Driller's depth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driller's_depth

    Driller's depth is always recorded, and it constitutes the primary depth system, unless it is later superseded by a more accurate measurement such as the depth from an open- or cased-hole wireline log. Driller's depth should always have 1) a unit of measurement e.g. meter or feet, 2) a datum reference e.g. rig floor.
