Application of the Kozeny-Carman Equation to Permeability Determination for a Glacial Outwash Aquifer, Using Grain-size Analysis

摘要

Permeability (hydraulic conductivity) is a measure of the ability of a porous med- ium to convey a single fluid or multiphase fluids through its body under a certain hydraulic gradient. In this study, the permeability was determined for the grain-size fractions and the layers of a glacial outwash aquifer and its aeration zone (northern Germany) using grain-size analysis and the Kozeny-Carman equation.
