The problem of flow from a large reservoir through a circular orifice is formulated by considering the velocity potential and Stokes's stream function as the independent variables and the radial and axial dimensions as the dependent variables, and a finite difference solution is obtained to the resulting boundary-value problem. This inverse formulation has the advantage over a finite difference solution in the physical plane that the region of flow is rectangular and consequently well adapted for minimum logic in programming a digital computer. The inverse finite difference solution is more readily obtained than a comparable solution in the physical plane, even though the inverse partial differential equation and associated boundary conditions are non-linear. The results from the inverse finite difference solution are in close agreement with other most recent results from approximate solutions to this problem. The inverse method of solution is applicable to other free streamline as well as confined axisymmetric potential flow problems. The essential difference in other problems will be in the boundary conditions.Keywords: Orifice, Finite Differences, Non-linear Partial Differential Equation, Potential Flow.
