Actually turns out I need to reduce the drain pipe somewhere to about half the size. I know its not venturi because its not "measuring" anything, I was actually just wondering if I could lower the height x will reach by providing a constriction. But what effect will it have to constrict the...

Still some unanswered questions above please.

I agree that the height of resevoir 2 (I assume this is x2?) is a bit of a nomenclature, as it will naturally equalize with reservoir 1. Thank you for the clear explanation, I hope I understand it correctly. Some of it was trying to understand if it made a difference if another reservoir was...

I can see that without the drain, x would quickly overflow, but I cannot imagine even if d was 0 (the drain is still open to the atmosphere) that this would occur. Actually Y is small compared to d (not drawn to scale), but I am curious as to how multiple resevoirs affect the pressure and flow...

I have a specific problem involving two reservoirs filled with water with a height difference Y and total head H, and was wondering if a venturi like device could be used to calculate the resulting pressure head x and if it will exceed the bottom of reservoir 1. Also the drain length is d...

The flow from any arbitary point except for the middle must be distributed equally to the remaining 8 points. Water, electricity, it doesn't matter the point is it must be done geometrically. The actual flow rate doesn't matter, only the distribution. As for the split.. I simply mean if you...

This may be more of a math problem; it arose out of my curiosity of manipulating LED matrices and reminds me of a traffic flow problem, but I am sure it can model a variety of applications. Its not a homework problem but would probably make a good one! You have a 3x3 grid of points, each...
