Abstract
Wolfgang Beyer: A Groundwater Scientist from Dresden.
Highlights
Wolfgang Beyer was a groundwater scientist in Dresden, whose work on the permeability of sediments is cited the world over, but who is otherwise little known
Expert for well screen design and advocate for a more sophisticated grain size analysis, rightly points out that A. Hazen originally developed his formula for wastewater and water filters with artificial grain mixtures, while Beyer developed his
The determination of K using the Beyer (1964) formula is accurate for a moderate bulk density, a silt content (0.06 mm) of less than 10% and a uniformity coefficient C between 1 and 20
Summary
Wolfgang Beyer was a groundwater scientist in Dresden, whose work on the permeability of sediments is cited the world over, but who is otherwise little known. Hazen originally developed his formula for wastewater and water filters with artificial grain mixtures, while Beyer developed his By accounting for nonuniformity and the bulk density, the Beyer method yields better agreement with the conductivity values obtained using more laborintensive lab and field pumping tests for natural quaternary sediments, for example, glaciofluvial sand and gravel.
