  1. Darcy’s data for two different sands Figure from Hornberger et al. (1998)

  2. Range in hydraulic conductivity, K 13 orders of magnitude Figure from Hornberger et al. (1998)

  3. Figure from Hornberger et al. (1998)

  4. Generalization of Darcy’s column h/L = hydraulic gradient Q is proportional to h/L q = Q/A Figure from Hornberger et al. (1998)

  5. qz 2 qx 1 q = Q/A q is a vector z q z x x In general: Kz < Kx, Ky

  6. q = - Kgrad h

  7. Vector Form of Darcy’s Law q = - K grad h q = specific discharge (L/T) K = hydraulic conductivity (L/T) grad h = hydraulic gradient (L/L) h = head (L)

  8. q = - Kgrad h q is a vector with 3 components h is a scalar K is a tensor with 9 components (three of which are Kx, Ky, Kz)

  9. Darcy’s law q = - Kgrad h q equipotential line grad h q grad h Isotropic Kx = Ky = Kz = K Anisotropic Kx, Ky, Kz

  10. True flow paths Linear flow paths assumed in Darcy’s law Average linear velocity v = Q/An= q/n n = effective porosity Specific discharge q = Q/A Figure from Hornberger et al. (1998)
