Bulk Pore Velocity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

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.
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.
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

Apparent Velocity of Seepage: 23.99 Meter per Second --> 23.99 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Porosity of Soil: 0.32 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_a = V/η --> 23.99/0.32

Evaluating ... ...
