    You could probably use fluid dynamics, pressure, and flow rates to figure this out. It would also depend on the size of the injury.

    This diagram might help

    I think the relevant equations are Bernoulli’s and volumetric flow rate, but I’ll leave that up to someone else to clarify

    I’m not a scientist but i’ve dealt with some leaky stuff before. I think it all comes down to (blood) pressure and wound size, and to a lesser extent, wound shape.
