Calculating Wormhole Wind Speeds
Here's something I've never noticed anyone asking when it comes to wormholes/portals: If they allowed air to pass through them, how fast would the wind be? Should atmospheric pressure differences be a concern?
Here's what I've got:
There's a round 2D wormhole with a diameter of 2m (imagine a green warp pipe with an inner diameter of 2m if that helps simplify things). On one end the barometer reads 1050mb (15.229psi), the other end reads 950mb (13.779psi); meaning there is a 100mb (1.45psi) difference in pressure between the two ends of the wormhole.
Assuming all other factors are static on both sides (68°F, same elevation, earth-like atmosphere, etc), can someone walk me through how to find the flow rate and velocity of the air traveling through this wormhole, please?
(Every online calculator I look at keeps asking me for more stuff like the flow rate in CFM, and I have no idea how to find that.)
