I'm not getting the right answer and I don't know what I am doing wrong. If you can explain step by step to help me understand how to obtain the right answer that would be awesome. This is a 3 step problem and if I can't get the first problem right I can't get the next two right... thank you!
1.
Given the following parameters, using hydraulic geometry
relationships, determine the meander using the relationships
developed by either Thorne and Soar (2001) or Leopold and Wolman
(1960).
Given:
A trapezoidal channel
Bottom width of 10 feet
Side slopes of 2H:1V
Energy slope of 0.005
Flow depth of 5 feet
Manning's roughness 0.03
2.
For the stream channel in problem No-1 above, using the Hey and Thorne (1986) hydraulic geometry relationships determine the riffle spacing and mean riffle width.
3.
For the stream channel in problem No-1 above, we need to size stone to protect the bank of the stream. Using Lane's Method determine the D75 stone size needed assuming a ratio of curve radius to water
surface width of 0.90.
