Open Channel Capacity

Computes flow area, wetted perimeter, hydraulic radius, velocity, discharge capacity, and Froude number for trapezoidal or rectangular open channels using Manning's equation V = (1/n)*R^(2/3)*S^(1/2). Used in drainage and flood conveyance design per HEC-22 and Australian Rainfall and Runoff (ARR) standards.
