Coefficient of Permeability given Maximum and Minimum Permeability for Earth Dam Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Coefficient of Permeability of Soil = sqrt(Intrinsic Permeability*Relative Permeability)
k = sqrt(K_o*μ_r)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Coefficient of Permeability of Soil - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Coefficient of Permeability of Soil describes how easily a liquid will move through the soil.
Intrinsic Permeability - (Measured in Square Meter) - Intrinsic Permeability or Specific Permeability is a measure of relative ease with which porous medium can transmit fluid under potential gradient and is property of medium alone.
Relative Permeability - (Measured in Henry per Meter) - Relative Permeability is the ratio of effective permeability of a particular fluid at a particular saturation to absolute permeability of that fluid at total saturation.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Intrinsic Permeability: 0.00987 Square Meter --> 0.00987 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Relative Permeability: 1.3 Henry per Meter --> 1.3 Henry per Meter No Conversion Required
