Seepage velocity

  "id": "MLC-T-MET-008772",
  "term": "Seepage velocity",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The actual average velocity of groundwater flow through the pores and interstices of a porous medium. This velocity is higher than the Darcy velocity because it accounts for the reduced cross-sectional area available for flow within the porous material. It is calculated by dividing the Darcy velocity by the porosity of the medium.",
  "synonyms": [
    "average actual flow velocity",
    "average linear velocity"
