Fluid Velocity from a Pipe onto an Inclined Plane

[QUOTE="JBA, post: 5356629, member: 570081"] The main problem with your plan is that water as it flows down the plate will be accelerated by gravity and therefore progressively reduce in depth as it proceeds down the plate. As a result, unless the plate channel is tapered to progressively reduce its width toward the bottom end to compensate for this effect, it will not be possible to attain a consistent water depth throughout the length of the plate. Your best solution may be, if possible, to level the plate and place a weir (dam) plate across the far end of the plate. Then the velocity of the water over the plate can easily be controlled by adjusting the discharge rate from the pipe to the plate; and/or, raising or lowering the end plate to allow the best combination of water depth and flow rate for your application.
