Hydraulic diameter = dh

Created by Arthur Aslanyan (Nafta College), last modified on Dec 08, 2020

In many Pipe Flow Simulation non-circular pipes can be accurately modelled as circular pipe with hydraulic diameter $\begin{array}{l}d_h\end{array}$ :

(1)	$\begin{array}{l}\displaystyle d_h = \frac{4 \, A}{P}\end{array}$

where

$\begin{array}{l}A\end{array}$	Cross-sectional area of non-circular pipe
$\begin{array}{l}P\end{array}$	Perimeter of the of non-circular pipe
