1. Daniel Bernoulli (Groningen, 8 February 1700
– Basel, 8 March 1782) was a Dutch-
Swiss mathematician and was one of the many
prominent mathematicians in the Bernoulli
family. He is particularly remembered for his
applications of mathematics to mechanics,
especially fluid mechanics, and for his
pioneering work in probability and statistics.
Bernoulli's work is still studied at length by
many schools of science throughout the world.

3. Antoine de Chézy (September 1, 1718
– October 5, 1798) was a French
hydraulics engineer. He is known for
the Chézy formula, which concerned
the velocity of pipe flow.[1] He died
in 1798 after being director of the École
nationale des ponts et chaussées for less
than a year.[2] His son was the
orientalist Antoine-Léonard de Chézy.

𝐶 ∙ 𝑅ℎ ∙ 𝐴2
𝑠
All levels in m N.A.P.
1. Calculate H at weir
2. Calculate ∆H each pipe
3. Water level at weir (P1) = level crest weir + H at weir
4. Water level at P2 = Water level at weir + ∆Hweir(p1) – p2
5. Water level at P3 = Water level at P2 + ∆H p2– p3
6. Water level at P4 = Water level at P3 + ∆H p3– p4

24. Strategy [situation with overflow]
Remarks
• In manhole velocity is low so water level (y) ≈ total head (H)
Otherwise you have to take the velocity head (u2/2g) into
account
• Pipes are submerged
• Steady situation
• Turbulent flow
• Subcritical flow [stromend] (discussed later, most of the time
flow is subcritical
With subcritical flow [stromend] the downstream situation affects
the upstream situation. So that is why you start at the weir and
work back to P3.
