Estimating circular pipe flow velocity through a known elevation profile and known length with a known initial pressure and flow velocity
I have a known elevation profile spanning the length of my pipe (~600 meters). An elevation value is given for every five meters of pipe. At the beginning of the pipe, I have a known velocity (1.1 m/s)...

How flood risk is determined
If you live in a 1% AEP flood zone, you have a 50.3% chance of being flooded in a typical lifetime (70 years), and a 15.6% chance of being flooded twice in this period.
My Solution for 50.3% = 1 - exp(...
