Hello,

Ques. (1)

If velocity(V) is known at any node, how can we calculate the discharge,Q(m3/sec)?

Well known formula for calculating the discharge is as follows

Q = A.V

Where
A is the area in (m2)
V is resultant velocity in (m/s)

I would like to know whether "A" stands for the integrated area of elements surrounding that node or not?

Ques. (2)

If the area of elements surrounding a node is huge, will it affect the value of discharge at that node even if
WATER DISCHARGE OF SOURCES at that node is given with value?
