I found a formula on the following website
to calculate the windsheet thickness (WST).
The WST and mouth height are defined in the
image to the right. I'll summarize here by
saying that a scientist named Hartmuth Ising
developed a number to characterize the mouth
of a pipe. The Ising number should be between
2 and 3. I=2 gives you maximum efficiency.
As you increase the number, you get more
harmonics and anything higher than 3 will
overblow. I've found that I=2 gives good
results. Here's the equation for calculating
the WST:
