  "definition": "The two-dimensional area of flowing fluid measured perpendicular to the direction of fluid flow. In a rectangular channel, flow cross-section is the depth of flowing water multiplied by the width of the channel. Flow cross-section is used to determine flowrate, which is defined as the cross-sectional average flow velocity multiplied by the flow cross-section.",
