i = \frac{h_{2} - h_{1}}{L}

$i = ( h_2 - h_1 )/ "L"$

(h_{2}) Second head height

$(h_2)"Second head height"$

(h_{1}) First head height

$(h_1)"First head height"$

(L) Length of the flow path.

$(L)"Length of the flow path."$

The Hydraulic Gradient calculator compute the gradient between to hydraulic heads based on their heights and the flow path length.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

(h₂) This is the height of the second hydraulic head.
(h₁) This is the height of the first hydraulic head.
(L) This is the length of the flow path between the two heads.

Hydraulic Gradient (HG): The calculator returns the gradient.

The Math / Science

The formula for the Hydraulic Gradient is:

HG = (h₂- h₁)/L

where

HG is the hydraulic gradient
h2 is the height of the second hydraulic head
h1 is the height of the first hydraulic head
L is the length of the flow path between them.

A hydraulic gradient is useful in hydraulic formulas (e.g. Gauckler-Manning Equation) for flow analysis.
