Quantity of Seepage Calculation
Posted by Dinesh onUse the simple hydraulics and waterworks calculator to calculate Quantity of Seepage. The quantity of seepage can be computed directly from a flow net. Or, in certain instances, from charts or equations without the construction of a flow net. The formula for computing the quantity of seepage from a flow net is Q = k * (nf / nd) * ht * L.
Quantity of Seepage Calculator
Formula:
Q = k × (nf / nd) × ht × L
where,- k - effective coefficient of permeability which is √ kmaxkmin
- nf - number of flow channels of net
- nd - number of equipotential drops of net
- ht - head difference between headwater and tail water
- L - length of dam to which the flow net applies
- Q - quantity of seepage in length of dam under consideration
