The most economical trapezoidal open channel section has a hydraulic radius (R) equal to:
AHalf of flow depth (y / 2)
BEqual to flow depth (y)
CTwice flow depth (2y)
DOne third flow depth (y / 3)
Explanation
For the most economical trapezoidal channel section, hydraulic radius R = y / 2, where y is flow depth.
