Hydraulic gradient given Flow Velocity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Hydraulic Gradient = (Velocity of Flow/Coefficient of Permeability)
i = (V_wh'/K_w)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Hydraulic Gradient - Hydraulic gradient is a specific measurement of liquid pressure above a vertical datum.
Velocity of Flow - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Velocity of Flow is the velocity of the flow of any fluid.
Coefficient of Permeability - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Coefficient of Permeability is the velocity in meters or centimeters per second of water through soils.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Velocity of Flow: 24.12 Meter per Second --> 24.12 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Coefficient of Permeability: 1000 Centimeter per Second --> 10 Meter per Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

i = (V_wh'/K_w) --> (24.12/10)

Evaluating ... ...

i = 2.412

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.412 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.412 <-- Hydraulic Gradient

What is Hydraulic Gradient?

The hydraulic gradient is the slope of the water table or potentiometric surface, that is, the change in water level per unit of distance along the direction of maximum head decrease.

How to Calculate Hydraulic gradient given Flow Velocity?

Hydraulic gradient given Flow Velocity calculator uses Hydraulic Gradient = (Velocity of Flow/Coefficient of Permeability) to calculate the Hydraulic Gradient, The Hydraulic gradient given Flow Velocity is defined as the specific measurement of liquid pressure above vertical datum. It is usually measured as liquid surface elevation, expressed in units of length, at entrance of piezometer. Hydraulic Gradient is denoted by i symbol.
