Hec Ras Critical Depth
Hec Ras Critical Depth
(OP)
When hec ras cannot balance the energy equation with a subcritical answer between two cross sections, it defaults to the critical depth and carries on upstream with the step calcs. When I preview the cross section and profile, the wsel is shown at critical depth, however what's puzzling me is that the profile summary table shows a froude number not equal to 1, something lower like 0.8. Shouldn't the froude number be 1 if the section is at critical depth?

Critical Depth should be equal to a Fr = 1.
Or very close (not 0.6).
