I am working on a project where I have to calculate the affected water movement in an open channel. What I mean by affected water movement is the gallonage moved by an inertial force such as a stream of water discharged under pressure.
For example:
A 1" pipe is discharging 10 GPM into an open water body parallel and just below the water surface. For the example there is no wind or restrictions. What I know is that the water is flowing at 10 gpm which displaces 10 gpm at the discharge. now I need to know the effect that discharge has on the water around it. All assumptions are the water is the same temperature, no wind, fresh water etc..
Supposed to be a straight forward calculation but I can't wrap my head around it.. Anyone out there that can offer a solution?
Thanks
