The seepage velocity is less than the actual flow rate of the liquid or gas in the pores because the fluid moves only through the portion of the cross-sectional area S that is occupied by the pores.
Velocity is a vector quantity that refers to the rate at which an object changes its position.. Imagine a person moving rapidly-one step forward and one step back-always returning to the original starting position. While this might result in a frenzy of activity, it would result in a zero velocity.peed can be thought of as the rate at which an object covers distance. A fast-moving object has a high speed and covers a relatively large distance in a short amount of time. Contrast this to a slow-moving object that has a low speed; it covers a relatively small amount of distance in the same amount of time.
