Mathematical Models of Clepsydrae by Claude Pierre Sousa is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Mathematical models of water clocks are analyzed using calculus and computers. Water clocks measure time by the flow of water into or out of vessels. The height of water in the vessels corresponds to elapsed time. Complex water clock designs, like polyvascular clocks with multiple interconnected vessels, were developed to maintain a constant outflow rate despite changing water levels. The paper presents mathematical models of different water clock designs, describing flow rates with or without viscosity eff
