In Fluid dynamics, wetted perimeter refers to the perimeter of the cross sectional area of the pipe in contact with the medium. If the pipe is circular, the wetted perimeter will be
If the pipe has a square cross-section, the wetted perimeter will be 4a.
Hydraulic depth
Hydraulic depth refers to the length through which the liquid flows through the pipe.
Hydraulic depth = Area of the flow / wetted perimeter.
