Volume of Solids given Porosity Formula Elements

Variables
Volume of Solids
Volume of Solids is the total volume of sediment or particulate matter present in a body of water, such as rivers, lakes, or reservoirs.
Symbol: Vs
Measurement: VolumeUnit:
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample
Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample is the combined volume of solids and pores which may contain volume of air or volume of water, or both.
Symbol: Vt
Measurement: VolumeUnit:
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 Volume of Solids given Porosity?

Volume of Solids given Porosity evaluator uses Volume of Solids = (Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample*(1-Porosity of Soil)) to evaluate the Volume of Solids, The Volume of Solids given Porosity formula is defined as the amount of space within a soil or rock that is occupied by solid particles versus the amount of space that is filled with voids or pores. Knowing the porosity allows hydrologists and engineers to estimate how much water a soil or rock can hold. This is vital in flood prediction, irrigation planning, and groundwater management. Volume of Solids is denoted by Vs symbol.

How to evaluate Volume of Solids given Porosity using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Volume of Solids given Porosity, enter Total Volume of Soil or Rock Sample (Vt) & Porosity of Soil (η) and hit the calculate button.
