DARCY FLUX &
AVERAGE GROUNDWATER VELOCITY CALCULATOR
|
Darcy's Law, as reviewed in a
previous newsletter, is the basis for calculating both the Darcy flux,
and the average groundwater velocity. In this newsletter we
present the first in a line of hydrogeologic calculators that will be
available from the GroundwaterSoftware.com website. This
calculator requires the gradient, conductivity and porosity as input.
A review of these parameters is given in the
Darcy's Law newsletter.
All three parameters are required to complete the calculation,
although if porosity is not available and Darcy's flux is the only
desired output, simply entering a dummy porosity will allow the calculator to
complete the calculations, and the Darcy's flux that will be output
remains correct.

There are many resources
available for more information on Darcy flux and average groundwater
velocity. For this newsletter the following
textbook was used:
Fetter, C.W. (1994).
Applied Hydrogeology, Third Edition. Published by
Prentice-Hall Inc., New Jersey, USA.

YOU choose
how you would like to match curves
AquiferWin32 gives
you the option of manually matching your data to the type
curves by simpling clicking and dragging your data curve over the type
curves.

YOU choose
what the final presentation will look like
AquiferWin32 has many options
for presenting your results. No other pumping test analysis
software is more customizable with respect to legends, printed headers
and footers. It also has symbol control on each and every data point and the
generation of traditional type curve suites as seen in the literature.
