Water flow through a perforated plate

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating water flow through a perforated plate, specifically addressing the need for a formula that accounts for varying gravity pressures on holes positioned at different heights. The user seeks to achieve uniform water discharge across all holes by adjusting their sizes, which is crucial for effective water level compensation between tanks. The reference to submerged orifice calculations indicates a foundational understanding of fluid dynamics, but highlights the necessity for a more nuanced approach to hole sizing based on gravitational effects.

PREREQUISITES
  • Fluid dynamics principles
  • Understanding of orifice flow equations
  • Basic physics of pressure differentials

Hi,
I'm seeking the formula to calculate how water moves from one tank into another through a perforated plate driven by waterlevel compensation. I found the calculation for the discharge of water through submerged orifices, but I think the calculation does not include that holes, one above the other, have different gravity pressures and therefore different waterflows, also depending on the size of the hole. I want similar water discharge through each hole, so I have to adjust the hole size from top to bottom hole...or?
I'm not an expert in physics, mechanics, fluid dynamics etc., so I'm sorry if the diction is not quite right.
Please don't hesitate to ask when my description is to rudimental.
Cheers
