Parallel hydraulic elements
Storyboard
When hydraulic elements are connected in parallel, the flow is distributed among them, while the pressure drop is the same for all of them. The sum of the individual flows results in the total flow, and therefore, the total hydraulic resistance is equal to the inverse of the sum of the inverses of the individual hydraulic resistances. On the other hand, hydraulic conductivities are summed directly.
