The formula to calculate the depth of flow (DF) in a pipe is:
\[
DF = PD
\]
Where:
\( DF \) is the depth of flow in the pipe in feet
\( PD \) is the pipe diameter in feet
Definition
Depth of Flow in a Pipe: Refers to the vertical distance from the bottom of the pipe to the surface of the flowing water. It is an important parameter in hydraulic and civil engineering for designing and analyzing pipe systems. The depth of flow can vary depending on whether the pipe is flowing full or partially full.
Example
Let's say the pipe diameter (PD) is 2 feet. Using the formula:
\[
DF = 2
\]
So, the depth of flow (DF) is 2 feet for a full pipe flow.

Flow Calculation in Pipe
Formula: \( Q = A \times v \)
\( Q \): Flow rate
\( A \): Cross-sectional area of the pipe
\( v \): Flow velocity
Example: \( Q = 0.5 \times 2 \)
Calculate Pipe Diameter from Flow Rate
Formula: \( D = \sqrt{\frac{4Q}{\pi v}} \)
\( D \): Diameter of the pipe
\( Q \): Flow rate
\( v \): Flow velocity
Example: \( D = \sqrt{\frac{4 \times 10}{\pi \times 2}} \)
Normal Depth Calculator for Circular Pipe
Formula: \( y = D \times \left(1 - \cos\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)\right) \)
\( y \): Normal depth
\( D \): Diameter of the pipe
\( \theta \): Angle in radians
Example: \( y = 1 \times \left(1 - \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)\right) \)
