How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the hydraulic conductivity (K) in meters per second (m/s). This represents the ease with which water can move through a porous medium.
  2. Enter the cross-sectional area (A) in square meters (m²). This is the area through which the water is flowing.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the permeability coefficient.
  4. The result will be displayed in square meters (m²).

Working Principle

The permeability coefficient (λ) is a measure of the permeability of a material to fluid flow. It is calculated by multiplying the hydraulic conductivity (K) by the cross-sectional area (A) through which the fluid is flowing. This gives us an indication of how easily fluid can pass through the material.

Applications

This calculator is useful in fields such as hydrogeology, civil engineering, and environmental science for analyzing fluid flow through porous media like soil, rock, and aquifers.
