Determining Piezometric Head in Groundwater
Piezometric total head calculations in groundwater use the formula h=z+Ψ where h means total head or height of the groundwater level above the datum, usually sea level, while z represents the elevation head and Ψ represents the pressure head.
What is the formula of velocity head?
If u is the velocity and g the acceleration due to gravity, the velocity head is defined by u2/2g.
How do you calculate hydraulic head?
Hydraulic head is defined as h = hp + hz, where h is the hydraulic head, hp is the pressure head, and hz is the elevation head.
