Bulk Pore Velocity Formula Elements

Variables
Bulk Pore Velocity
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.
Symbol: Va
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Apparent Velocity of Seepage
Apparent Velocity of Seepage is the velocity at which groundwater moves through the porous medium, as observed over a larger scale.
Symbol: V
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
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.
Symbol: η
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.

How to Evaluate Bulk Pore Velocity?

Bulk Pore Velocity evaluator uses Bulk Pore Velocity = Apparent Velocity of Seepage/Porosity of Soil to evaluate the Bulk Pore Velocity, The Bulk Pore Velocity formula is defined as the actual speed of travel of water in the porous medium. The hydraulic conductivity functions integrated from pore velocity distribution. Bulk Pore Velocity is denoted by Va symbol.

How to evaluate Bulk Pore Velocity using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Bulk Pore Velocity, enter Apparent Velocity of Seepage (V) & Porosity of Soil (η) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Bulk Pore Velocity
