A good book for fitting losses in large pipe is the Hydraulic's institute Engineering Data book. Another good source with formulas for real world applications is the Crane Flow of Fluids technical paper 410.
I am looking to discharge water into a large, water filled 4' deep basin at approximately 2' below the water surface from a series of holes cut into the side of a large pipe submerged within the basin. Is there a method to calculate the amount of turbulence that might be expected adjacent to...
Cooling towers do not need to be installed completely within an existing basin however some care in the design of the cooling tower will be required in order to direct the circulating water flow back into the basin.
