- W2506502191 abstract "A problem sometimes faced by engineers is calculating the time required to empty a reservoir. This may be a purpose-built flood storage reservoir located upstream of a town or city to store excess riverflow during a storm, and then discharge it safely back to the river channel after the flood has subsided. It is important that the reservoir empties as quickly as possible, because if another flood occurs while the reservoir is still full the flow cannot be stored and flooding will occur downstream. So, when designing the dam it is important to know how long it takes for the reservoir to empty; if it is too long the spillway or outlet must be made larger. Alternatively, the problem may involve a water supply reservoir that has been damaged by either natural causes or terrorist action, as happened in the former Yugoslavia in 1993. Whether or not the dam will collapse may depend upon how quickly the hydrostatic force on it can be reduced, that is the time to empty the reservoir. On a more modest scale, the problem could involve the time taken to empty an oil storage tank or a water distribution reservoir. In the laboratory, by measuring the time required to empty a tank it is possible to calculate the coefficient of discharge of, say, an orifice. Therefore the sort of questions answered in this chapter include:" @default.
