Laboratory Determination of Hydraulic Conductivity

Hydraulic conductivity is the measure of flowability of water inside the soil in the presence of a hydraulic gradient. The hydraulic gradient is defined as the difference in the water heads in the soil, which induces a water motion. In simple terms, a hydraulic gradient is the presence of a potential that induces a flow of water.

The base of a river in in contact with the top of an aquifer. A truck carrying bags of powdered cyanide is on a bridge crossing the river when a large bump causes one of the bags to fall into the river. The water in the river suddenly becomes polluted by the cyanide with a concentrations of 6.78 mg/L. The aquifer has an average linear ground water velocity of 0.256 m/day. Laboratory analyses data indicates that longitudinal dispersivity can be found through the equation: a = 0.86(log Ls)² where Ls is the length of the straight line path between two points along the path of transport. Find the longitudinal dispersion 108 m downstream from the bridge. Assume that the cyanide solute has a diffusion coefficient of 3.6 x 10 -5 m²/s and the aquifer has a coefficient related to tortuosity (o) equal to 0.8. Find the coefficient of hydrodynamic dispersion.
