Hydraulic gradient definition
Hydraulic gradient means the head loss per unit length where the head loss is expressed in terms of the unit length so as to produce a dimensionless value.
Hydraulic gradient means the rate of change of total head per unit distance of flow in a given direction.
Hydraulic gradient means the change in hydraulic head per unit distance.
Examples of Hydraulic gradient in a sentence
Hydraulic gradient: a) The slope of the water surface; b) The drop in pressure head per length in the direction of stream flow.
Where drainage drywells are proposed as stormwater infiltration infrastructure, the required drainage drywell wall surface areas shall be determined using Darcy's Empirical Law as follows: Where: Q = Design flow in m3/s; A = Cross-sectional area of soil through which flow takes place in m2; K = Coefficient of permeability of receiving soils in m/s; i = Hydraulic gradient within proximity to the drywell.
More Definitions of Hydraulic gradient
Hydraulic gradient means the change in hydraulic pressure per unit of distance in a given direction.
Hydraulic gradient means the slope of the water table or potentiometric surface, calculated by dividing the change in hydraulic head between two points by the horizontal distance between the points in the direction of groundwater flow.
Hydraulic gradient means the change in hydraulic head per unit distance. [(31)] (37) “Hydraulic head” means the elevation to which water rises in a piezometer or a well.
Hydraulic gradient means the slope of the water table.
Hydraulic gradient means slope of the water table.
Hydraulic gradient. (i) means the change in static water level per unit distance in a given direction (dimensionless).
Hydraulic gradient means a change in the static pressure of ground water, ex- pressed in terms of the height of water above a datum, per unit of distance in a given direction. Hydrologic process means any hydro- logic phenomenon that exhibits a con- tinuous change in time, whether slow or rapid. Hydrologic properties means those properties of a rock that govern the en- trance of water and the capacity to hold, transmit, and deliver water, such as porosity, effective porosity, specific retention, permeability, and the direc- tions of maximum and minimum permeabilities. Igneous activity means the emplace- ment (intrusion) of molten rock mate- rial (magma) into material in the Earth’s crust or the expulsion (extru- sion) of such material onto the Earth’s surface or into its atmosphere or sur- face water. Isolation means inhibiting the trans- port of radioactive material so that the amounts and concentrations of this material entering the accessible envi- ronment will be kept within prescribed limits. Likely means processing or displaying the qualities, characteristics, or at- tributes that provide a reasonable basis for confidence that what is expected in- deed exists or will occur. Lithosphere means the solid part of the Earth, including any ground water contained within it. Member of the public means any indi- vidual who is not engaged in operations involving the management, storage, and disposal of radioactive waste. A worker so engaged is a member of the public except when on duty at the geo- logic-repository operations area.
