FAQs on Discharge through partially sub-merged orifice

What is the formula to find Discharge through partially sub-merged orifice?
The formula of Discharge through partially sub-merged orifice is expressed as Discharge through Orifice = (Coefficient of Discharge*Width*(Height of Liquid Bottom Edge-Difference in Liquid Level)*(sqrt(2*9.81*Difference in Liquid Level)))+((2/3)*Coefficient of Discharge*Thickness of Dam*(sqrt(2*9.81))*((Difference in Liquid Level^1.5)-(Height of Liquid Top Edge^1.5))). Here is an example- 20.65482 = (0.87*3.5*(20-200)*(sqrt(2*9.81*200)))+((2/3)*0.87*12*(sqrt(2*9.81))*((200^1.5)-(19.9^1.5))).
How to calculate Discharge through partially sub-merged orifice?
With Coefficient of Discharge (Cd), Width (w), Height of Liquid Bottom Edge (Hb), Difference in Liquid Level (HL), Thickness of Dam (b) & Height of Liquid Top Edge (Htop) we can find Discharge through partially sub-merged orifice using the formula - Discharge through Orifice = (Coefficient of Discharge*Width*(Height of Liquid Bottom Edge-Difference in Liquid Level)*(sqrt(2*9.81*Difference in Liquid Level)))+((2/3)*Coefficient of Discharge*Thickness of Dam*(sqrt(2*9.81))*((Difference in Liquid Level^1.5)-(Height of Liquid Top Edge^1.5))).
