Day Fourteen - 7/2

Events presided over by Dr. S. Stonedahl
Guest appearances: Dr. F. Stonedahl and K. Gibson

What we did
    Dr. Stonedahl continued fillling the apparatus with sand.
    Updated code to automate TProGS
    Permeameter filter was changed from cotton to 100 micron nylon mesh
    Permeameter readings for silica {K = 0.000557, 0.000468, 0.000465, 0.000409,
       0.000343 m/s}
    SRI Lunch
    Built scoop tool to help with filling process
    Permeameter readings for rock {K = 0.004703, 0.006366, 0.004523, 0.003929}
    Set sand tubes to settle over night
    Finalized the calibration of the conductivity meter
    Almost finished filling apparatus
    Discovered that camera was not positioned well.  We are lucky this was not the real test.
   

Failed camera positioning, but our grid is basically complete.

What we will do
    Finish filling apparatus

    Permeameter tests

    Set up for test 1 of the apparatus
    run simulation of test to estimate times {need k values}
    test if water system will disturb sand
    Fix camera set-up!
    Run test 1 (Monday)
