if the chanell isn't round you have to take the equivalent hidraulic diameter d' = 4*A/C
A... cross area [m2]
P... circumference [m]
so for bb2k rectangular chanell d'=2ab/(a+b)
So you can see that narrow rectangular chanell isn't realy too good for introducing turbolence round chanell is much better.... but with central nozzle and short paths I realy don't think that there would be lamilar flow in that kind of block

It's Saturday... I've tested my airtrap (with some success: the thin wall vynil tubing just collapses, otherwise all air is cleared within 10 seconds).
I'm recalculating the different radius' involved: boy was I off!
Doing a quick recalc of Reynolds# at center, assuming the last design posted (center square post):
-opening size (for trial): 5mm diameter, aka 3/16 inch.
(At 4 gpm, I loose 2 feet of head!)
-Velocity: 40 m/s
-4 openings measuring 1 by 5 mm (still not accurate)

(I assume that the "C" in the equation is "P"?)
where
a=.001
b=0.005
A=0.000005
P(or C?)=0.031
so
d'=.00167 (using: 2ab/(a+b) )
multiply by 4 (4 channels)
d' becomes .0067
so Reynolds = ... What is "dynamic viscosity"?
