The discharge of irrigation gate is
q=Cd.W.L.sqrt[2g{h1-h2}] where q is the discharge of gate which is veriable value(dq/dt),Cd discharge constant,W is width of gate(constant value),L is opening gate control which is variable value(dL/dt),g is gravity constant,h1&h2 is up and downstream of water level of river ,I want to transphere in lablace equation to use it as a processor in controlling barages gate system .
Thankyou

Firstly try setting out what you know more clearly.

Equation for Discharge of Irrigation Gate:

[tex]q=Cd\times W \times L \times \sqrt{2g(h_{1}-h_{2})}[/tex]

Variables:

[itex]q[/itex] = Discharge of Gate (which is variable \frac{dq}{dt})

[itex]Cd[/itex] = Discharge Constant

[itex]W[/itex] = Width of Gate (which is constant)

[itex]L[/itex] = Opening Gate Control (which is variable \frac{dL}{dt})

[itex]g[/itex] = Gravity (which is constant)

[itex]h_{1}[/itex] = Upstream Water Level

[itex]h_{2}[/itex] = Downstream Water Level

Just makes it easier to see what's what when attempting to solve the problem. :smile:

Secondly, "transphere in lablace equation" .. I presume you mean that you want to use the Laplace Equation :wink:

Thirdly/Finally, it's a bit unclear exactly what you want to do, and also could you detail what work you have done so far on this problem.
