Meters per day to centimeters per second
Type a value in m/day to get it in cm/s instantly.
1.157×10⁻⁵cm/s
That's 1.16× as permeable as silt, while fine sand is 86× more permeable.
Convert the other way: cm/s to m/day
What it means
How fast does water pass?
For water at about 20 °C. Ranges for each soil span a factor of 100 or more; the darcy unit applies to water at 20 °C.
The math
How to convert m/day to cm/s
To convert meters per day to centimeters per second, multiply by 0.00115741.
Example: 0.01 m/day × 0.00115741 = 1.157×10⁻⁵ cm/s.
In the other direction, 1 cm/s = 864 m/day.
