calculate_permeability_by_seepage_distanceLABSCO SUMMARY
A single-purpose scientific tool, and single-purpose is the right shape for one.
The value of exposing a calculation like this is not that it is hard to compute — it is that the model will otherwise attempt the algebra itself and be confidently wrong about a rearrangement. Handing it the closed form, with the inverse solutions alongside, removes that failure. Narrow, checkable, and it costs almost nothing to leave connected.
What it is
A Python package for a specific calculation in fluid mechanics: the permeability of a porous medium, derived from Darcy's law using the seepage distance method.
What you get
The permeability calculation and its inverses — solving for the time a front takes, or for how far it has travelled at a given moment.
Requirements
Python, installed from PyPI. GPL-3.0 licensed. Documentation is available in both English and Chinese.
Setup effort
Follow the published steps — pip install permeability
USE CASES
01
Computing permeability
From the measured pressure, porosity and time.
02
Solving the other way
How long the front takes, or how far it has reached.
