    This document provides an example of calculating the time it takes for fluids to empty from a falling head test. It shows the equations for calculating flow rate based on cross-sectional area and the square root of gravity and head. It then integrates these equations to determine the time to empty each fluid layer based on the initial and final head pressures. The example assumes the cross-sectional area is constant and that suction pressures would result in fluids not fully emptying and reaching equilibrium.
