Given a 5 degree roll, most of that water would have to flow to the downhill tank in about 1.5 seconds if I'm conceptualizing this correctly. My first shot, off the top: two 30 in diam smooth pipes That's much too big of course. Can you take us through your calculations? It would take a large rectangular tunnel to achieve that much cross sectional flow area without creating an unworkable obstruction on the flybridge. I looked up a table of flow rates for smooth pipes of various diameters on Google and scaled to a flow rate of 12000 gal/min Brian W |
