	Henry Darcy: Tarbé de St.-Hardouin
		Darcy (Henri Philibert Gaspard), born in Dijon on June 10, 1803; student engineer Ponts et Chaussées, 1823; graduated May 1, 1827; ordinary engineer on April 27, 1828, after a short stay in the department of the Jura, he was called to Dijon where his career in engineering was to achieve acclaimed honor.
		The-work carried out by Darcy in Côté-d'Or are numerous and includes in particular two large bridges on the Saone; but the principal work of his life was the development and distribution of the springs which gave to the town of Dijon a water supply often quoted as a model.
		Darcy's took the opportunity of his new situation to complete the experiments that he had begun in Dijon on the movement of water in the pipes, and in 1850 he was sent in London to collect documents on the roads of that large city.

	Darcy, Henry
		Henry Philibert Gaspard Darcy was born in Dijon, France, the capital of the Department of Côte d'Or.
		Simplified, this linear rule demonstrates that the rate of flow of water through a porous medium is proportional to the slope between two points of water at different heights, and that it flows from the higher to the lower point.
		In 1858, Henry Darcy died of pneumonia and was buried in Dijon.

	Darcy's Law - Mining Technology \| TechnoMine
		Politically, Darcy was born during a troubled period of France’s history, starting with the Revolution (1789), then Napoleon Bonaparte’s Consulat, Empire, the restored French Monarchy, the failed revolution of 1830, the 2nd Republic, and the 2nd Empire.
		Henry Darcy was a distinguished engineer, scientist, and citizen who is remembered for his many contributions in hydraulics, including Darcy's law for flow in porous media.
		Besides the discovery of Darcy's law, he was the first to show that significant flow resistance occurs within aquifers, the first to recognize the law's similarity to Poiseuille flow, and the first to combine the law with continuity to obtain a solution for unsteady flow.

	Science Fair Projects - Henry Darcy
		Henry Philibert Gaspard Darcy (June 10, 1803 - January 3, 1858), was a French scientist who made several important contributions to hydraulics.
		He was born in Dijon, France; despite his father's death in 1817 when he was 14, his mother was able to borrow money to pay for his tutors.
		In 1855 and 1856 he conducted column experiments that established what has become known as Darcy's law; initially developed to describe flow through sands, it has since been generalized to a variety of situations and is in widespread use today.

	Sir Henry DARCY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Darcy, who was no more than 19 at the time, must have owed his return for the duchy of Lancaster borough of Knaresborough to his father, a younger son of Thomas, Lord Darcy and a royal servant who held or had held a number of duchy offices.
		Hussey was friendly with the Fermors, a family with which the Darcys were also connected before Darcy married into it: in Jul 1532 Sir Arthur Darcy, Sir John Dudley, Richard Rich and Richard Fermor had stood surety for a loan made by the King to Sir Edward Seymour.
		Darcy was to inherit a large estate in Yorkshire and elsewhere from his father, but on his first marriage he settled in Huntingdonshire and disposed of much of his Yorkshire property.

		Henry found that, once he was underway, the road slipping at a rapid pace beneath the trotting feet of his matched team of bays, his spirits lifted considerably.
		Henry was loud in his praise, while Darcy kept his opinion to himself; Henry, misunderstanding his friend's silence, was pained to think that Darcy's tastes had grown so nice as to condemn a presentation such as Elizabeth's.
		Darcy, who, though extremely surprised, was not unwilling to receive it, when she instantly drew back, and said with some discomposure to Sir William, "Indeed, sir, I have not the least intention of dancing.

	darcy law
		In the mid-nineteenth century, a French Engineer, Henry Darcy, made the first systematic study of movement through water through a porous medium (Darcy 1856).
		Darcy found that the rate of water flow through a bed of "given nature" is proportional to the difference in the height of the water between the two ends of the filter beds and inversely proportional to the length of the flow path.
		Darcy found experimentally that the discharge, Q, (volume/time), is proportional to the difference in height of the water, h, (hydraulic head), between the ends and inversely proportional to the flow length, L. The flow was obviously proportional to the cross-sectional area of the pipe, A.

		Henry Philibert Gaspard Darcy lived from 1803 to 1858 and was a well respected and renowned scientist of his time.
		He is best known for his contribution to groundwater flow: the Darcy "Law" that groundwater flow is directly proportional to the pressure difference.
		What makes Darcy a particularly good figurehead for the "Hydrology and Water Resources" medal is that his research work was triggered by societal needs and the complex engineering challenges that came with an urbanising and industrialising society.

		Henry Darcy's law of fluid flow through porous media forms the basis of hydrogeology.
		Darcy wrote the book to describe the construction of Dijon's water supply system in 1839–40 and to provide practical guidance to engineers involved in similar projects.
		Darcy's water supply system transformed Dijon from a pestilential provincial capital to the second-best city in Europe (after Rome) in terms of water supply and quality.

	The Firstborn
		Darcy had studied pugilism since boyhood and was glad to pass his knowledge on to the younger man. The students did not have a great deal of spare time, but what they had was spent in instruction and learning of the sweet science.
		Henry wondered if he should perhaps put a flea in Bingley's ear in regard to Hurst, but he knew that Bingley was far too good-natured, as well as too affectionate a brother, to put his sister and her husband from his house.
		Henry was amused to notice that their arrival precipitated the arrangement of several whispering groups about the room, with members of each group occasionally detaching themselves to run toward another group and whisper some more, throwing occasional appraising looks at Bingley and Darcy.

		I wrote a short paper and presented a poster at the 2001 ASCE National Convention held in Houston, Texas on Darcy's improvements to the Pitot tube and expanded on it for the 2003 Darcy Symposium.
		Darcy's improved instruments provided accurate and easy measurements of point velocity for the first time, which allowed advances in open channel and pipe flow hydraulics.
		Darcy's contribution to the development of the device equaled or exceeded Pitot's initial work, thus making it appropriate to refer to the modern instrument as the "Pitot-Darcy tube".

	The Firstborn
		Henry scratched his ears, and the creature writhed with joy until finally he was prone on the ground belly-up, one of his rear legs twitching as Henry scratched a particularly sensitive spot.
		Henry had great affection for Darcy, but if he were forced to choose between his friendship and his heart, he knew where he would choose, and it gave him great pain to think that Darcy's unaccountable pride might result in an estrangement from his oldest friend.
		Henry noticed that Elizabeth was paying more attention to the conversation than her book, which was a history, as Bingley had few novels in his library and none in the room.

	Lyrical Anachronism: the visual imagination of Dame Darcy
		Darcy's cinema is a collaborative practice; while she typically contributes art design and the soundtrack music, animation duties are largely the task of her colleagues.
		Darcy herself studied animation with Larry Jordan – the one-time assistant to Joseph Cornell – and has acted for George Kuchar.
		Instead, Darcy's films are the proof of an acute sensitivity to musical dynamics; a sensitivity perhaps enhanced by her chimerical multiple career as a musician, as well as an accomplished artist and animator.

	Ocean 540: Flow in a Porous Medium; Crustal Model
		Flow in a porous medium is described by Darcy's Law which relates the movement of fluid to the pressure gradients acting on a parcel of fluid.
		Darcy's Law is based on a series of experiments by Henry Darcy in the mid-19th century showing that the flow through a porous medium is linearly proportional to the applied pressure gradient and inversely proportional to the viscosity of the fluid.
		Darcy flow can be used as a starting point to model the convection of fluid through the oceanic crust.
