Question

Discharge velocity and seepage velocity relationship

Answer 1

Answer:

Discharge Velocity and Seepage Velocity relationship

Discharge velocity is the volume of water flowing in unit time across the unit cross section perpendicular to the direction of flow.

Seepage flow is the volume of of water flowing in unit time across the unit surface area of available voids.

Discharge velocity is often known as darcy's discharge velocity and is significantly lesser than the seepage velocity.

Discharge velocity is used in darcy's expression of flow of water under head difference.

seepage velocity is the real velocity of water through the soil.

Relationship:

seepage velocity = (e+1)/e * discharge velocity

e = void ratio.
