- Abstract:
An experimental investigation is used to quantify the flow rates through individual outlets of multi-outlet siphonic roof drainage systems under both full-pipe and partially filled pipe flow conditions. A pressure transducer and a propeller-type current meter were installed within each tailpipe to measure water depth and flow velocity. The study tests the hypothesis that it may be possible to predict accurately the flow rates through individual outlets of multi-outlet siphonic roof drainage systems. A new technique of estimating flow rates is trialled by comparing instantaneous pressure transducer and current meter readings with previously calibrated flow data to find the best data match. The study results were very positive and clearly demonstrate that the underlying methodology was appropriate and that it may be possible to model numerically the individual outlet flow rates in multi-outlet siphonic roof drainage systems.;An experimental investigation is used to quantify the flow rates through individual outlets of multi-outlet siphonic roof drainage systems under both full-pipe and partially filled pipe flow conditions.
