About
Flowpedia is an online tool where collection of information and technical terms related to rainwater management are featured. It is a tool to serve as a reference for learning or teaching. Open to public for contributors of topics. Topics have gone through verification /validation to ensure the information being published is reliable, non-bias and based on credible references or sources.
Purpose
- To provide consolidated information about rainwater drainage based on codes and standards or has gone through research and studies.
- To provide an online tool open to public for professional learning, for teaching or for training purposes.
Goals
- To provide non-commercial and non-bias information.
- To define technical terms based on credible sources (such as codes and standards or have gone through scientific studies, tests and research).
- Publish topics which have gone through a thorough check, verification and validation.
Scope
- General principles of rainwater drainage system (Gravity drainage system and Siphonic roof drainage system) inside dwellings and commercial, institutional and industrial buildings.
- Definition of technical terms.
- Pipes and fitting materials applicable for rainwater drainage pipe system.
Featured Article
Daniel Bernoulli (8 February 1700 -17 March 1782) A Swiss mathematician and a physicist.
Daniel Bernoulli published about 80 works, including 50 papers in the editions of the Petersburg Academy of Sciences and 10 prize-winning memoirs of the Paris Academy. But there was only one large treatise – his famous Hydrodynamica.
He is particularly remembered for his applications of mathematics to mechanics especially fluid mechanics and pioneering work in probability and statics.
Bernoulli's Equation is one of the fundamental equations of fluid mechanics and is the primary equation upon which Siphonic Drainage System design is based.
Featured Picture
Hydrodynamica was published in 1738, by Daniel Bernoulli. In this book Bernoulli presented the earliest adequate theory of motion of an incompressible fluid in tubes (vessels) and fluid outflow through orifices, introducing the notion of the hydro-dynamic pressure. However, the treatise is not restricted to theoretical hydraulics. In the subsequent sections, he opens up new branches of physics and mechanics.
Hydrodynamica is founded mainly on the principle of conservation of ‘living forces’ (that is, kinetic energy). Bernoulli preferred to use this principle not in its traditional form, received hostility by Newtonians, but in Christiaan Huygens formulation that Bernoulli named the principle of equality between the actual descent and potential ascent: ‘If any number of weights begin to move in any way by the force of their own gravity, the velocities of the individual weights will be everywhere such that the products of the squares of these velocities multiplied by the appropriate masses, gathered together, are the bodies descends, multiplied by the masses of all of them’.
