Volume of water is the space that water occupies in a container or within voids of a material. It is a crucial parameter in various engineering and environmental applications.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates the volume of water by subtracting the volume of air-filled voids from the total volume of voids.
Details: Accurate calculation of water volume is essential for soil mechanics, hydrogeology, construction projects, and environmental studies to determine water content and saturation levels.
Tips: Enter volume of voids and volume air voids in cubic meters. Both values must be non-negative, and volume of voids should be greater than or equal to volume air voids.
Q1: What are typical units for these measurements?
A: While cubic meters are used here, other units like liters or cubic feet can be used with proper conversion.
Q2: Can this formula be used for any material?
A: Yes, this formula applies to any porous material where voids can contain both air and water.
Q3: What if volume air voids is greater than volume of voids?
A: This would be physically impossible as air voids cannot exceed total voids. The calculator validates this condition.
Q4: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically exact, but accuracy depends on the precision of input measurements.
Q5: Are there any limitations to this approach?
A: This approach assumes that voids contain only air and water, without considering other substances or phase changes.
