The distribution of voidage in the wall regions of randomly packed beds of uniform spheres is investigated. A general equation relating the local voidage to the distribution of the spheres is derived and is combined with some simple observations abou...

A model of axisymmetric liquid outflow from large vessels is developed and is used to explain aspects of flow for self-venting and choked outlets. It is shown that for flows with self-venting outlets the model relates the liquid level to the flow. It... Read More about Axisymmetric outflow from large vessels.
