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.

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.
