Fluid Velocity in Hydraulics and Waterworks Formulas

The Fluid Velocity refers to the speed at which a fluid flows through a pipe. It is typically measured in meters per second (m/s) or feet per second (ft/s). And is denoted by v_Fluid. Fluid Velocity is usually measured using the Meter per Second for Speed. Note that the value of Fluid Velocity is always negative.
