Calculate Flow Rate using Darcy's Law





Formula

The formula to calculate the flow rate using Darcy's Law is:

\[ q = -\left(\frac{k}{u}\right) \times p \]

Where:

What is Darcy's Law?

Darcy's Law states that the discharge flow rate of a fluid is proportional to the pressure drop and the hydraulic conductivity.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ q = -\left(\frac{1.0}{0.001}\right) \times 100 \approx -1.00 \times 10^{5} \]

The flow rate is approximately \(-1.00 \times 10^{5}\).
