The fundamental laws of fluid mechanics define the principles for calculating velocities and head losses in the case of liquid flows, depending on whether they are considered :
In the case of free flow through a thin-walled orifice, Torricelli's law expresses that the velocity of the liquid is equal to that of a body falling in a vacuum, without initial velocity, from the free surface, i.e. :
