Orifice Outlet Design
Sizes a circular orifice outlet for a stormwater detention basin by rearranging the orifice equation Q = Cd*A*sqrt(2gH) to solve for the required orifice area and diameter given a target discharge flow rate and available head. Commonly applied in urban stormwater management to control post-development peak flows.
