Day Twenty-Two 7/14

Events presided over by: Dr. S. Stonedahl
Special guest appearances by: Issac Schwantes, Dr. Stratton, Dr. Ferm

What we did:
    Finished setting up for apparatus test.
    Began apparatus test.
    Wrote a program to take our photos and images and turn them into a time lapse video.
    Tested using a falling head test to calculate K-Values.
    Worked on Permeameter.
    Disposed of sand with the help of Issac Schwantes.
    Generated more head files to choose from for next apparatus test.
 



What we will do:
    Fix leaking divide
    Wash out the bottom of apparatus that still looks blue
    Run 0.125 grid, if we like it use it, if not we have a 0.75 we liked
    Mix up blue solution
    Fill TWO tap water garbage cans
    Monitor these solutions, to see if they change with time
    Begin filling apparatus for next test AFTER silicone has dried .
    Think about changing Q's issue and pump having to work harder at lower level, etc.
    Continue trying falling head tests
    Set up another constant head test (Intimidate the permeameter into working correctly, or something.)
    Work on presentation, make graphs, pick pictures, if we can't make graphs yet due to K value make a blue rectangle that says what you will put there.
    Modify matlab code so that it's ready to try to match conductivity data once we get K's
    So really we NEED to get consistent K values!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
