Hydraulic Experiments for Determination of In-situ Hydraulic Conductivity of Submerged Sediments

Hydraulic Experiments for Determination of In-situ Hydraulic Conductivity of Submerged Sediments

A new type of in-situ hydraulic permeameter was developed to determine vertical hydraulic conductivity (VHC) of saturated sediments from hydraulic experiments using Darcy's law. The system allows water to move upward through the porous media filled in the permeameter chamber driven into sediments at water-sediment interface. Darcy flux and hydraulic gradient can be measured using the system, an...

In-situ Field Hydraulic Conductivity

Hydraulic conductivity is commonly estimated from grain size characteristics of unconsolidated sediments. We present an extensive set of air-permeability and grain size measurements from a heterogeneous aquifer. These data are unique in that the hydraulic conductivity measurements are made on undisturbed in-situ sediment and, like the grain size measurements, have a small sample volume size (<1...

An investigation of Hydraulic Conductivity Determination for Anisotropic Soils

One of the important parameters for determining the discharge through the subsurface system in groundwater engineering is hydraulic conductivity coefficient. This parameters the factor of oil skeleton and fluid properties. The horizontal and vertical components of saturated hydraulic conductivity coefficient can be obtained from the laboratory and field testing methods. Those are usually consta...
