Abstract

The hydraulic parameters are important for the numerical computation in which hydraulic conductivity is one of the most frequent. The horizontal component of hydraulic conductivity could be obtained with field trial. And the vertical component is usually computed with the horizontal one by dividing a constant. However, this procedure always generates significant errors which are illustrated by the theoretical analysis and numerical comparison study. For practical engineering application, a brief algorithm to compute the vertical conductivity is proposed and checked by a numerical model.
