How to Calculate and Solve for Entrance Velocity | Darcy’s Law | Water Budget

Last Updated on March 30, 2024

The image above represents entrance velocity.

To calculate entrance velocity, one essential parameter is needed, and this parameter is Hydraulic Conductivity (ki).

The formula for calculating entrance velocity:

Ve = ki

Where:

Ve = Entrance Velocity
ki = Hydraulic Conductivity

Let’s solve an example;
Find the entrance velocity when the hydraulic conductivity is 8.\

This implies that;

ki = Hydraulic Conductivity = 8

Ve = ki
Ve = 8

Therefore, the entrance velocity is 8.
