# Calculation of the head loss on a water intake grid
# Calculation of the head loss on a water intake trashrack
Head loss \(\Delta H\) on a water intake trashrack is calculated as follows:
$$ \Delta H = \xi \frac{V_1^2}{2g} $$
Upstream flow velocity \(V_1\) is calculated from the discharge \(Q\), the water height \(H_1\)
and the intake width \(B\) upstream the trashrack:
$$ V_1 = \frac{Q}{H_1 \times B} $$
The calculation of the head loss coefficient \(\xi\) is based on the characteristics of the trashrack. For a full description of the assumptions, formulas and limitations of the method, please refer to the Raynal et al. (2012) report[^1] available here (in French): https://continuite-ecologique.fr/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/2012_014.pdf
