Bulk Pore Velocity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Bulk Pore Velocity = Apparent Velocity of Seepage/Porosity of soil
Va = V/η
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Bulk Pore Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Bulk Pore Velocity is the actual speed of travel of water in the porous media.
Apparent Velocity of Seepage - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Apparent Velocity of Seepage is velocity with which groundwater moves through the bulk of the porous medium.
Porosity of soil - Porosity of soil is the ratio of the volume of voids to the volume of soil.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Apparent Velocity of Seepage: 24 Meter per Second --> 24 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Porosity of soil: 0.32 --> No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Va = V/η --> 24/0.32
Evaluating ... ...
Va = 75
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
75 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
75 Meter per Second <-- Bulk Pore Velocity
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

7 Darcy's Law Calculators

Apparent Velocity of Seepage given Reynolds Number of Value Unity
Go Apparent Velocity of Seepage = (Reynolds Number*Kinematic Viscosity)/Representative Particle Size
Apparent velocity of seepage when discharge and cross-sectional area are considered
Go Apparent Velocity of Seepage = Discharge/Cross section area of the porous medium
Coefficient of Permeability when Apparent Velocity of Seepage is considered
Go Coefficient of Permeability = Apparent Velocity of Seepage/Hydraulic Gradient
Hydraulic Gradient when Apparent Velocity of Seepage is considered
Go Hydraulic Gradient = Apparent Velocity of Seepage/Coefficient of Permeability
Apparent Velocity of Seepage
Go Apparent Velocity of Seepage = Coefficient of Permeability*Hydraulic Gradient
Apparent Velocity and Bulk Pore Velocity Relationship
Go Apparent Velocity of Seepage = Bulk Pore Velocity*Porosity of soil
Bulk Pore Velocity
Go Bulk Pore Velocity = Apparent Velocity of Seepage/Porosity of soil

Bulk Pore Velocity Formula

Bulk Pore Velocity = Apparent Velocity of Seepage/Porosity of soil
Va = V/η

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 Bulk Pore Velocity?

Bulk Pore Velocity calculator uses Bulk Pore Velocity = Apparent Velocity of Seepage/Porosity of soil to calculate the Bulk Pore Velocity, The Bulk Pore Velocity 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 calculate Bulk Pore Velocity using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Bulk Pore Velocity, enter Apparent Velocity of Seepage (V) & Porosity of soil (η) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Bulk Pore Velocity calculation can be explained with given input values -> 75 = 24/0.32.
