I like the historical context that you gave for the equation, as well as the applications of the equation in hydrogeology. Nice. Niccce.
ReplyDeleteA simple topic, but easy to get across. You do go a bit too much with tangents on why Darcy's Law is not useful. Maybe limit that. I like your second diagram, it gives a relation to someone like me what types of grains are more permeable.
ReplyDeleteGood job. The Darcy's Law is well explained. But I don't understand why ha is higher than hb because the water is connected which means the pressure should be equal at the two ends.
ReplyDeleteCool historical background. You did a good job answering my question.
ReplyDeleteI appreciated the back story about Darcy's experiment. Is length^3 the same as volume? And length^2 for area? I would just say volume and area if that is the case.
ReplyDeleteYes they are the same. Perhaps volume and area would be clearer.
DeleteGood presentation. The figures were really helpful.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if there is a way to take lab values and pressure correct it to values you would see in the field.
ReplyDeleteI think you did a good job explaining this. You had a nice balance of historical context, explanation of experimental derivation, explanation of the parts of the equation and real world application. You also cut down on the number of filler words!
ReplyDeleteI like how you put every term under the equation, which makes the equation clear and easy to understand
