How to Evaluate Aquifer Loss Coefficient?

Aquifer Loss Coefficient evaluator uses Aquifer Loss Coefficient = (log((Radius of Investigation/Radius of Well),e))/(2*pi*Coefficient of Permeability*Aquifer Thickness) to evaluate the Aquifer Loss Coefficient, The Aquifer Loss Coefficient formula is defined as the measure of the loss of energy or head that occurs as water flows through an aquifer, which is a critical component in the design and operation of groundwater wells and aquifer systems. Aquifer Loss Coefficient is denoted by B symbol.

How to evaluate Aquifer Loss Coefficient using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Aquifer Loss Coefficient, enter Radius of Investigation (R), Radius of Well (r'), Coefficient of Permeability (k) & Aquifer Thickness (bw) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Aquifer Loss Coefficient

What is the formula to find Aquifer Loss Coefficient?
The formula of Aquifer Loss Coefficient is expressed as Aquifer Loss Coefficient = (log((Radius of Investigation/Radius of Well),e))/(2*pi*Coefficient of Permeability*Aquifer Thickness). Here is an example- 30.0852 = (log((100/2.94),e))/(2*pi*0.0001*15).
How to calculate Aquifer Loss Coefficient?
With Radius of Investigation (R), Radius of Well (r'), Coefficient of Permeability (k) & Aquifer Thickness (bw) we can find Aquifer Loss Coefficient using the formula - Aquifer Loss Coefficient = (log((Radius of Investigation/Radius of Well),e))/(2*pi*Coefficient of Permeability*Aquifer Thickness). This formula also uses Archimedes' constant and Logarithmic Inverse (log) function(s).
