Impact of Main Pipe Flow Velocity on Leakage and Intrusion Flow: An Experimental Study

The classic orifice equation is commonly used to calculate the leakage and intrusion rate for pressurized pipelines with cracks on the pipe wall. The conventional orifice equation does not consider the effect of the flow velocity in the main pipe, and there is a lack of studies on this matter. For t...
