    The document defines three coefficients - coefficient of contraction (Cc), coefficient of velocity (Cv), and coefficient of discharge (Cd) - that are used to characterize fluid flow through an orifice. Cc is the ratio of the actual to theoretical cross-sectional areas of the fluid jet, Cv is the ratio of actual to theoretical velocities, and Cd is the product of Cc and Cv and represents the ratio of actual to theoretical discharge rates.
