Channel Bend Water Surface Elevation Difference Calculator

Channel Bend Elevation Difference Calculator

Calculate the difference in water surface elevation for a channel bend using:
\[ \Delta h = K \frac{V^2}{2g} \]

* Enter the flow velocity \(V\) (ft/s) and the bend loss coefficient \(K\).

Step 1: Enter Parameters

Example: 5 ft/s

Example: 0.2

Formula: \[ \Delta h = K \frac{V^2}{2g} \] with \(g = 32.2 \, \text{ft/s}^2\).
