An experimental investigation of outflow of liquids from single-outlet vessels
  This paper considers the outflow of a liquid from a single outlet vessel, i.e. a vessel in which the outflowing liquid is displaced by another fluid which enters the vessel through the same opening. The simplest possible arrangement is investigated: a sealed axisymmetric cylindrical vessel with an outlet in its base, in which water is displaced by air. It is shown experimentally that the average liquid discharge velocity is independent of the liquid level in the vessel and the shape of the outlet for the range of outlets employed; it increases weakly with both the diameter of the vessel and the diameter of the outlet.
