Apparent Velocity and Bulk Pore Velocity Relationship Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Apparent Velocity of Seepage = Bulk Pore Velocity*Porosity of Soil
V = V_a*η
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Apparent Velocity of Seepage - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Apparent Velocity of Seepage is the velocity at which groundwater moves through the porous medium, as observed over a larger scale.
Bulk Pore Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Bulk Pore Velocity is a measure of the speed of the water moving through the void spaces within a porous medium and is calculated using the Darcy's law for flow through porous media.
Porosity of Soil - Porosity of Soil is the ratio of the volume of voids to the total volume of the soil. Porosity is a crucial parameter in hydrology as it influences the movement and storage of water within the soil.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Bulk Pore Velocity: 75 Meter per Second --> 75 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Porosity of Soil: 0.32 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V = V_a*η --> 75*0.32

Evaluating ... ...

What is Darcy's Law in Hydrology?

Darcy's law is an equation that describes the flow of a fluid through a porous medium. The law was formulated by Henry Darcy based on results of experiments on the flow of water through beds of sand, forming the basis of hydrogeology, a branch of earth sciences.

How to Calculate Apparent Velocity and Bulk Pore Velocity Relationship?

Apparent Velocity and Bulk Pore Velocity Relationship calculator uses Apparent Velocity of Seepage = Bulk Pore Velocity*Porosity of Soil to calculate the Apparent Velocity of Seepage, The Apparent Velocity and Bulk Pore Velocity Relationship formula is defined as the speed at which water appears to move through the entire cross-sectional area of a porous medium or aquifer. It is calculated assuming that the flow is evenly distributed across the entire cross-sectional area, without accounting for the actual porosity of the medium. Apparent Velocity of Seepage is denoted by V symbol.

How to calculate Apparent Velocity and Bulk Pore Velocity Relationship using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Apparent Velocity and Bulk Pore Velocity Relationship, enter Bulk Pore Velocity (V_a) & Porosity of Soil (η) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Apparent Velocity and Bulk Pore Velocity Relationship calculation can be explained with given input values -> 24 = 75*0.32.
