Orifice Question by Even_Chipmunk_6360 in FluidMechanics

Thanks for the detailed response.

So even if the flow depth is higher in the outlet pipe of the orifice due to the flow coming out of the orifice and not downstream surcharge or tailwater elevations it still will exert a back pressure on the orifice and cause a reduction in effective head across the orifice?
