    Flow rate in a gravity fed water pipeline

    Thanks for all the responses. The fact that this has sparked quite a lot of debate proves to me that this is much more complicated than I originally thought! I'm going to take some time to look into the trapped air issue, as this is something that a lot of you have mentioned. Thanks again!

    Flow rate in a gravity fed water pipeline

    Thanks so much everyone. This is very useful. Just for the record I will be engaging a consultant (who is on leave at the moment). I am just trying to assess various options that we have (I am an engineer come project engineer - basically a project manager!). The majority of the line in this...

    Flow rate in a gravity fed water pipeline

    Thanks for the responses everyone. With regards to whether it will be full or not: it might be sometimes but we are going to expect quite a varied flow in all likelihood so probably not always. I have attached the longitudinal profile of the ground and I have drawn some hydraulic grade lines...

    Flow rate in a gravity fed water pipeline

    Hi everyone, Was hoping for some help from a pipeline guru. I am looking into the maximum flow for a pipeline from a reservoir to an outlet about 40m lower. The way I have been looking at it is what is elevation head of the reservoir surface and that is effectively the driving head for the...

    Soil anisotropy

    Hi everyone, I am doing my final year project in which I am using DEM to observe the degree of segregation occuring during sedimentation of various samples. I also want to use fabric tensor to look at the anisotropy of the settled sample. Upon settling my sample is not cubic in shape but...
