    Calculation of laminar / viscous sublayer

    Hi there, I'm interested in determining whether or not a pressure pipe can be considered to hydraulically smooth or not however i've only found one unreferenced equation for calculating the laminar sublayer thickness: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_meant_by_Hydraulic_smooth_pipe...

    Estimating/modelling catchment discharge

    Hi there, Sorry this is a really vague question but i figure it's worth putting my query out there. I am tasked with assessing hydro power feasibility for a tropical rainforest region, however my background in hydrology is rather minimal. What I am hoping for from this forum is some pointers...

    Paramatising a solve block with multiple unit types

    Hi there, I have set of equations that I need to solve numerically (colebrook-white, darcy, and bernouli equations). I express these equations in a solve block and use find to solve. Explicit matrix form works fine: {x, y, z} = find(x,y,z) However, I want to paramatise this solve block i.e...

    Gurgling Battery Normal, Bad, Dangerous?

    Hi there, I have a pair of 250ah 6V lead acid traction batteries which are a couple of years old now... they have been permanently connected to a solar panel in series, but I have just brought them indoors and keep them topped up from time to time. The batteries... im not sure if it is one or...

    Numerical solution of Darcy equation for headloss and velocity

    Hi Im having problems with a numerical solution to these equations, and i think it relates more to the process of iterative solutions rather than to the fluid theory. For some initial values a convergent solution is found, but often the Darcy frictional headloss equation returns a value greater...
