Floating Skimmer Device

[ftroop82]

Trying to model a floating skimmer device and not sure what flow to input in HydroCAD. Per the skimmer manual I will need two 6 inch skimmers w/H=0.417. The Basin volume needed to drain in 72 hours is 226,357 cuft. I have phase in depth set at 0.42 ft and Full flow set at 1.03 cfs.

Use the orifice equation to calculate the flow, based on the head and the skimmer geometry.

I'm not sure what you're asking. If you've already determined the full flow to be 1.03 CFS, just enter that value into the constant-flow outlet device.
