Rate of Flow of Water through Saturated Soil by Darcy's Law Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

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.
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.
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

Coefficient of Permeability: 0.99 Meter per Second --> 0.99 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Hydraulic Gradient in Soil: 2.01 --> 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

q_flow = (k*i*A_cs) --> (0.99*2.01*13)

Evaluating ... ...

q_flow = 25.8687

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

25.8687 Cubic Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

25.8687 Cubic Meter per Second <-- Rate of Flow of Water through Soil
