What is Meant by “Hydraulics at High d/D”?

• In circular pipes, velocity at partial flow can exceed the full-flow velocity, with maximum velocity typically occurring around d/D ≈ 0.8.
• Discharge is not maximized at exactly full flow; for circular sections, maximum discharge usually occurs at about d/D ≈ 0.95.
