Porosity given Bulk Pore Velocity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

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.
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.

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
Bulk Pore Velocity: 75 Meter per Second --> 75 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

η = V/V_a --> 23.99/75

Evaluating ... ...

η = 0.319866666666667

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.319866666666667 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.319866666666667 ≈ 0.319867 <-- Porosity of Soil

Porosity

Go Porosity of Soil = (Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample-Volume of Solids)/Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample

Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample given Porosity

Go Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample = (Volume of Voids/Volume Percent of Porosity)*100

Volume of Solids given Porosity

Go Volume of Solids = (Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample*(1-Porosity of Soil))

Porosity given Bulk Pore Velocity

Go Porosity of Soil = Apparent Velocity of Seepage/Bulk Pore Velocity

Porosity given Specific Yield and Specific Retention

Go Porosity of Soil = Specific Yield+Specific Retention

Porosity given Bulk Pore Velocity Formula

Porosity of Soil = Apparent Velocity of Seepage/Bulk Pore Velocity
η = V/V_a

What is the Seepage Velocity?

Seepage Velocity is the velocity of groundwater calculated from Darcy's law. Seepage velocity is not the actual velocity of the water in the pores, but the apparent velocity through the bulk of the porous medium.

How to Calculate Porosity given Bulk Pore Velocity?

Porosity given Bulk Pore Velocity calculator uses Porosity of Soil = Apparent Velocity of Seepage/Bulk Pore Velocity to calculate the Porosity of Soil, The Porosity given Bulk Pore Velocity formula is defined as the relationship between porosity and bulk pore velocity is crucial in understanding how water flows through different types of geological materials. Materials with higher porosity (more void spaces) tend to allow water to flow more easily through them. Conversely, materials with lower porosity have fewer void spaces available for water flow. Porosity of Soil is denoted by η symbol.

How to calculate Porosity given Bulk Pore Velocity using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Porosity given Bulk Pore Velocity, enter Apparent Velocity of Seepage (V) & Bulk Pore Velocity (V_a) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Porosity given Bulk Pore Velocity calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.319867 = 23.99/75.

FAQ

What is Porosity given Bulk Pore Velocity?

The Porosity given Bulk Pore Velocity formula is defined as the relationship between porosity and bulk pore velocity is crucial in understanding how water flows through different types of geological materials. Materials with higher porosity (more void spaces) tend to allow water to flow more easily through them. Conversely, materials with lower porosity have fewer void spaces available for water flow and is represented as η = V/V_a or Porosity of Soil = Apparent Velocity of Seepage/Bulk Pore Velocity. Apparent Velocity of Seepage is the velocity at which groundwater moves through the porous medium, as observed over a larger scale & 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.

How to calculate Porosity given Bulk Pore Velocity?

The Porosity given Bulk Pore Velocity formula is defined as the relationship between porosity and bulk pore velocity is crucial in understanding how water flows through different types of geological materials.
