What is Darcy's Law?

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.

How to Calculate Apparent Velocity of Seepage?

Apparent Velocity of Seepage calculator uses Apparent Velocity of Seepage = Coefficient of Permeability*Hydraulic Gradient to calculate the Apparent Velocity of Seepage, The Apparent Velocity of Seepage formula is defined as the flow rate of water through a porous medium. It is defined by Darcy's Law and is calculated as the volumetric flow rate per unit area of the medium. The design of hydraulic structures like dams, levees, and groundwater recharge facilities requires knowledge of seepage velocities to ensure stability and prevent failure due to uncontrolled seepage or piping. Apparent Velocity of Seepage is denoted by V symbol.

How to calculate Apparent Velocity of Seepage using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Apparent Velocity of Seepage, enter Coefficient of Permeability (K'') & Hydraulic Gradient (dhds) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Apparent Velocity of Seepage calculation can be explained with given input values -> 24 = 10*2.4.
