RESISTANCE OF PERFORATED PLATES
Resistance coefficients for thin-
strips with sharp
edged orifices (according to Fried & Idelchik).
Conditions:
Range of sheet length to hole diameter ratio, 0 < l/Dh < 0.015
Reynolds number, Re > 105
Where:
![]()
for is the area of one orifice.
The resistance coefficient is given by:
