About Square metres per hour

The square metre per hour (m²/h) equals 1/3600 m²/s ≈2.778 × 10⁻⁴ m²/s, used in large-scale geotechnical and civil engineering analyses. Soil consolidation models and groundwater thermal plume simulations often use m²/h because the full diffusion process unfolds over hours to days. 1 m²/h = 10 000 cm²/h ≈ 2.778 × 10⁻⁴ m²/s.

About Square millimetres per second

The square millimetre per second (mm²/s) equals 1 × 10⁻⁶ m²/s and is the standard unit in materials engineering and the laser-flash diffusivity method (ASTM E1461, ISO 22007-4). Metals span roughly 2-180 mm²/s; polymers 0.07-0.2 mm²/s; ceramics 0.3-10 mm²/s. Numerically identical to the kinematic viscosity unit (cSt) in SI context. 1 mm²/s = 1 × 10⁻⁶ m²/s.
