I have done sort of the same for a container where the cross-sectional area of the container is a constant. However, I ended up with the differential equation: dh(t)/dt = -(A/B)*√(2g*h(t)), where A is the cross sectional area of the outflow and B is the cross sectional area of the container...

If doing a mass balance I get that the amount of fluid draining from the container is equal to the amount of fluid running through the outflow, therefore: dVoutflow = dVcontainer Where: dVcontainer = 1/3 * pi * h * (h*tan(a)) dVoutflow = v2*A2 <=> (A1*(-dh/dt)) / (pi*r2), where r is...

I am working on a paper at the moment which has to do with draining tanks. I have already set up a differential equation which explains the drain from a tank where the cross-sectional areas of the container and of the outflow are constants. But now I have to set up one which explains the drain...

That was an assumption I had to make in order to make it simple. If I would have to bring in turbulence the mathematics would be incredibly difficult, since turbulence is very hard to define and work with. However, I still have to describe it because turbulence WILL occur in my experiment which...

Homework Statement I'm currently working on a project which has to do with flow from a tank with one outflow. I have to set up a mathematical equation which describes the flow. Furthermore I have to explain the physics behind the model. The image shows the container and the outflow. In order...
