Choked flow is a fluid dynamic condition associated with the Venturi effect. When a flowing fluid at a given pressure and temperature passes through a constriction (such as the throat of a convergent-divergent nozzle or a valve in a pipe ) into a lower pressure environment the fluid velocity increases.
Most models use meshes which are either structured (Cartesian or curvilinear grids) or unstructured (triangular, tetrahedral, etc.). Gerris is quite different on this respect: it implements a deal between structured and unstructured meshes by using a tree data structure, [a] allowing to refine locally (and dynamically) the (finite-volume) description of the pressure and velocity fields.
The original purpose of the Venturi meter was to measure the amount of water used by the individual water mills in the Holyoke area.

If there is submerged flow, adjustments need to be made in order for the Parshall Flume to work properly. The discharge (Q) can be found using the following equations and table: Q net = Q free flow – Q correction; Q correction = M (0.000132 H a 2.123 e 9.284 St) where: S, H b /H a; M, multiplying factor
In hydrology, a Venturi flume is a device used for measuring the rate of flow of a liquid in situations with large flow rates, such as a river. [1] It is based on the Venturi effect, for which it is named. [2] It was first developed by V.M. Cone in Fort Collins, Colorado. [3] The Venturi flume consists of a flume with a constricted section in ...
Flow benches ordinarily use one of three types: orifice plate, venturi meter and pitot/static tube, all of which deliver similar accuracy. Most commercial machines use orifice plates due to their simple construction and the ease of providing multiple flow ranges. Although the venturi offers substantial improvements in efficiency, its cost is ...
The flow speed of a fluid can be measured using a device such as a Venturi meter or an orifice plate, which can be placed into a pipeline to reduce the diameter of the flow. For a horizontal device, the continuity equation shows that for an incompressible fluid, the reduction in diameter will cause an increase in the fluid flow speed.
