*Use figure of 0.1 if there is no slope to the "channel"
Flow in rectangular channel (Manning)
Flow through hole in base or small pipe aperture
*Discharge coefficient = 0.6014 for sharp edged apertures and 0.9409 for well
rounded apertures - use figures between these for not-so-rounded edges.
Flow over weir
*Discharge coefficient = 0.6014 for sharp edges and 0.9409 for well rounded edges -
