i don't even remember what a reynolds number is.

Isn't it the speed above which drag and or aerodynamic or hydrodynamic forced become significant to performance? or something like that.

My only experence with a reynolds number was when my grandfather scoffed at me saying the fin arrangement on my surfboard mattered. He agreed it needed a fin but said it was hogwash to prefer a single over a thruster over a quad due to the reynolds number. I didnt pick at it deeper than that. My gramps was a big guy and could be intimidating when he wanted to.
 
It's a dimensionless value that describes the movement of fluids against objects/surfaces or objects within fluids.

High Reynolds numbers mean turbulent flow. Low numbers mean laminar flow. There is a middle ground between 2000-4000 (IIRC) where the flow regimes are mixed.

If the water flow down the spillway was laminar, then the person falling down the hole would be scraped on the sides.

If it's turbulent, you can't really predict where the person would be. It's possible they wouldn't touch the sides at all.

i think it's how you're supposed to call Deadpool to save you.

freals tho, turbulent for SURE you're getting peeled. you'll hit the wall plenty of times to remove quite a bit of skin
 
Just checking the weather stations at Berryessa Pines, Eastside and Spanish Flat. They're reporting about half-an-inch along the northern side of the lake and about an inch at Spanish Flat.

With an estimated 3.25 inches of rain forecast for the Eastside road location, I'd guess that we will see a rise to somewhere between 48.75 and 439.25 feet by tomorrow and overflow by Wednesday night or Thursday.

Nevertheless, Mrs.Boney and I have a date to go have a looksy on Friday. I'll take the drone.
 
I wish I could head up there and watch.

I'm off tomorrow.
Gonna throw the dog in the car with a deli sando and run up there to check it out.
I'll finish the day with some chili and a fire in the fireplace.
Looking forward to an epic lazy day.

Sounds like a great plan. Let us know what you find.

But what will you have for breakfast?
 
:banana

Thats a lot of water!!
 
it would be neat to be there the moment the water spills over the lip.

Also, do you guys think a basketball would make it through to be spit out? Since we've covered humans already.
 
Now would be the time to pitch that basketball in and find out. Someone has to have one hell of an arm.
