单词 Darcy’s law
释义
Darcy’s law

Geology and Earth Sciences
  • A description of the relationships among factors that determine groundwater flow, expressed as an equation. At its simplest, Darcy’s law states that Q = kIA, where Q is the ground water flow, k the hydraulic conductivity of the rock, I the hydraulic gradient (i.e. gradient of hydraulic head), and A the cross-sectional area through which flow occurs. The law was formulated in 1856 by the French engineer Henry Philibert Gaspard Darcy (1803–58).


Geography
  • When the Reynolds number is very low, the velocity of flow of a fluid through a saturated porous medium is directly proportional to the difference in water pressure at the two sites:

    V=hPl
    where h is the height difference between the highest point of the water-table and the point at which flow is being calculated, V the velocity of flow, P the coefficient of permeability for the medium in question, and l the length of flow. Darcy’s law does not hold good for well-jointed limestone which has numerous channels and fissures. Darcy’s equation can be written in several ways: see GroundwaterSoftwater.com (March 2004).
