dc.description.abstractA method of evaluating in situ permeability of unconsolidated marine floor sediments has been
dc.description.abstractdeveloped using mathematical manipulation of previously formulated empirical equations. The final equation makes use of various sediment characteristics that can be mathematically described and
dc.description.abstractused to calculate permeability without greatly disturbing the sediment. The formula requires a
dc.description.abstractknowledge of the soil's median grain size, pore shape, porosity, and formation factor (the resistivity of
dc.description.abstractthe fluid itself). Calculated permeabilities came to within 16% or less of those measured for a series of natural sands when a simple coefficient was introduced into the equation for the data available.
dc.description.abstractOriginal calculated permeabilities were consistently close to five times greater than those measured
dc.description.abstractfor the same natural sand samples. The need for a coefficient to adjust calculated permeabilities could possibly be due to sorting effects that were not considered in the derivation; the incorporation of
dc.description.abstractthese effects remains an area of future investigation.
