Hydraulic Potential
In general, gradients can develop due to differences in:
- Pressure
- Position in a gravity field
- Chemical concentration
- Temperature
- Position in an electrical field
leading to spontaneous flow of mass or energy.
We will focus on flow due to differences in hydraulic potential in this
section (neglecting solute potential).
h = z + m + p
Liquid viscosity
The nature of viscosity can be visualized considering fluid motion
between two parallel plates; one at rest, the other one moving at
constant velocity.
Under laminar flow conditions water molecules are moving in
adjacent parallel layers. The layers transmit tangential stresses
(drag) due to attraction between fluid molecules.

(Darcys Law)
Historical Background
Henry Darcy, a French engineer, was commissioned by
the city of Dijon to find a solution for cleaning the city's
water supply that was contaminated by the waste of
mustard industry.
Darcy, in search of suitable filtering media, conducted
experiments with sand-packed filters.

The pioneering work of Darcy published in 1856, provided the
fundamental law for fluid flow in porous media.
