Hydraulic Gradient given Rate of Flow of Water Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Hydraulic Gradient in Soil = (Rate of Flow of Water through Soil/(Coefficient of Permeability*Cross Sectional Area in Permeability))
i = (q_flow/(k*A_cs))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Hydraulic Gradient in Soil - Hydraulic Gradient in Soil is the driving force that causes groundwater to move in the direction of maximum decreasing total head.
Rate of Flow of Water through Soil - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Rate of Flow of Water through Soil is the rate at which a water flows through a particular channel, pipe, etc.
Coefficient of Permeability - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Coefficient of Permeability is a measure of a soil's ability to allow water to flow through its pores. Essential in the design of retaining walls, cutoff walls, and other seepage control measures.
Cross Sectional Area in Permeability - (Measured in Square Meter) - Cross Sectional Area in Permeability is the surface area perpendicular to the direction of fluid flow through which the fluid moves. It is important in the design of hydraulic structures such as dams.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Rate of Flow of Water through Soil: 24 Cubic Meter per Second --> 24 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Coefficient of Permeability: 0.99 Meter per Second --> 0.99 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Cross Sectional Area in Permeability: 13 Square Meter --> 13 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

i = (q_flow/(k*A_cs)) --> (24/(0.99*13))

Evaluating ... ...

i = 1.86480186480186

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.86480186480186 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.86480186480186 ≈ 1.864802 <-- Hydraulic Gradient in Soil
