The Volume of Water delivered by the Four Great Aqueducts of Rome
View through CrossRef
IL VOLUME D'ACQUA DISTRIBUITA DAI QUATTRO GRANDI ACQUEDOTTI DI ROMAQuesto studio si propone, attraverso calcoli idraulici, di stabilire il volume d'acqua distribuita dai quattro grandi acquedotti della Roma antica. L'essenza dell'argomento è la profondità dell'acqua in un canale aperto che cambia la sua larghezza e la cui pendenza varia in maniera complessa ma prevedibile. Dal momenta che l'ampiezza e la pendenza di alcuni punti degli acquedotti romani sembrano essere sufficientemente ben definite per permettre calcoli di questo tipo, ed inoltre in alcuni di questi casi anche l'altezza del canale è accessibile, un limite superiore può essere posto sullo scarico. Il risultato numerico più importante è che la distribuzione di questi quattro acquedotti era probabilmente di 7 m3 al secondo (600 000 m cubi al giorno).
