Pressure / Force Calculations in Gravity Storm Systems
Pressure / Force Calculations in Gravity Storm Systems
(OP)
I have a 24" RCP gravity storm system with max 8% slopes and 18 fps velocities. I am trying to calculate the water pressure / force at each 90 degree manhole junction in order to determine if the forces will cause any lateral movement in the manhole. Anyone have any ideas on how to do perform these calculations?

If you don't put a drop use the principal of conservation of momentum to calculate the forces. You can calculate the pressures from the Bernouli equations. Pressure X Area = Force. Do not forget to use the angle since the forces have an x and y components.
