dc.description.abstract | A method of evaluating in situ permeability of unconsolidated marine floor sediments has been | |
dc.description.abstract | developed 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.abstract | used to calculate permeability without greatly disturbing the sediment. The formula requires a | |
dc.description.abstract | knowledge of the soil's median grain size, pore shape, porosity, and formation factor (the resistivity of | |
dc.description.abstract | the 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.abstract | Original calculated permeabilities were consistently close to five times greater than those measured | |
dc.description.abstract | for 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.abstract | these effects remains an area of future investigation. | |
