In the equation for determining energy & hydraulic grade lines for drainage pipes, there is an initial head loss coefficient = Ko. The Equation Ko = 0.1 (b/Do)(1-sin<)+1.4(b/Do)(15) sin<) requires access hole or junction diameter. What if it is a standard (4'x3') square sump CB? Also in the eqauation to solve for plunging flow, the vertical distance of plunging flow from the flow line of the higher elevation inlet to the pipe center of the outflow pipe = h. Is this value just the flow line of the higher outlet or is this the flow line plus the plunging tailwater(dc+d/2) comming out of this higher inlet? How does a standard 2' sump in a cb relate to correction for benching? Finally, Is there software out there specifically design to compute energy and hydraulic grade lines?
