Abstract

In the field of engineering, knowing the flow dynamics is the essential to specifically regulating the pressure or flow. Historically, in hydraulic experiments, physical structures were developed to test the fluids properties, but they are extravagant as well as time-consuming. Today, the actions of hydraulic systems can be numerically studied in acceptable time and cost through powerful Computational Fluid Mechanics (CFD) protocols. A CFD model is developed in this analysis to simulate a defined framework to evaluate the discharge coefficient, velocity coefficient and orifice contraction coefficient and discharge coefficient of various mouthpieces. The findings of the simulation were checked by performing experiments to identify discharge and by comparing the results obtained against published evidence.
