Comparative analysis of methods to determine permeability

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to determine which methods are best suitable for determining permeability and hydraulic conductivity from particle size distribution (PSD) and determine the permeabilities and hydraulic conductivities with confidence intervals. The permeability equations from HydrogeoSieveXL and the measurement from Eijkelkamp permeameter are adopted to collect the data. The results show that Barr, van Baaren, and Kozeny methods have high accuracy for all the samples. Slichter, Beyer,
