Formula and methodology
Formula: Hydraulic gradient=head difference/flow distance.
The hydraulic gradient is the change in hydraulic head per unit distance along the selected direction.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Head difference — m; minimum -1000000000000; maximum 1000000000000
- Flow distance — m; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 1000000000000
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Head difference | 5 |
| Flow distance | 100 |
Hydraulic gradient =0.05.
Assumptions and limits
- Head and distance are measured along a representative flow direction.
- The sign follows the chosen direction; the magnitude describes the gradient strength.
- Layering, three-dimensional flow, transient storage, and measurement uncertainty are not modeled.
