Liquid Splash

Good afternoon,

I'm doing the calculation of a distribution pipe (perforated pipe) and according to my calculations came to the hole with 25 psig. From there the fluid enters a highly viscous media -The distribution pipe is used to mix the fluid inside using pressure-

My question: there is any way to calculate the height of the column of liquid that prevents the liquid from splashing through the roof.

Regards,
Lij

Not sure if I have visualized your application correctly, but why don't you ignore the high viscosity media and apply a frictionless Bernoulli's equation to the (low viscosity?) fluid squirting out of the holes up towards the roof?

Good luck,

Good afternoon Latexman,

I think it is important to consider the environment because when the fluid enters the drag causes to require less static column to avoid splattering the roof.

Regards,
