The Critical Height of a Liquid Being Drained from the Tank with Bell-Mouth Drain Port

Vortexing occurs during draining of liquid from tanks. We studied the critical height of a liquid being drained from tank, that is, the liquid height at the moment when the air-core vortex reaches to the drain port.
