Visual artifacts used in graphical designs of the mechanisms of groundwater flow problems are very influential in learning and teaching. The merits of the classical methods of problem-solving using only mathematics become much less superior to those linked with interactive graphics. In this study, an interactive educational LabVIEW program is designed to graphically simulate the constructional and mathematical procedures of the two widely used field methods in groundwater engineering, the Ernst auger-hole method, and the Bouwer–Rice slug test method, for field measurements of the hydraulic conductivity of soils below the water table. The simulations included the basic constructional steps in carrying out the auger hole and the slug test field methods. Virtual geometric wells, boreholes, and pipes are graphically and interactively designed to conduct the required field tests. The simulations of the program enabled the students to get acquainted with what should be done in the field to measure soil hydraulic conductivity and enhanced understanding of how to perform a field test. Students were able to try different field hydrological parameters, and by successively changing any hydrological field parameter, they were able to visualize graphically and interactively its influence inside the classroom. This particular step improved the student's practical standards. Conditions of validity of each field test are completely fulfilled by the program. Results of the interactive program are found to be visually interesting and extremely accurate, which made this educational program quite interesting in teaching and learning.

地下水位以下现场水力传导率测试的教育交互式 LabVIEW 模拟

用于地下水流动问题机制的图形设计的视觉工件对学习和教学非常有影响。仅使用数学解决问题的经典方法的优点远不如那些与交互式图形相关的方法优越。在这项研究中，交互式教育 LabVIEW 程序旨在以图形方式模拟地下水工程中两种广泛使用的现场方法的构造和数学程序，即 Ernst 螺旋孔法和 Bouwer-Rice slug 测试方法，用于现场测量地下水位以下土壤的导水率。模拟包括执行螺旋钻孔和段塞试验场方法的基本构造步骤。虚拟几何井、钻孔、和管道以图形和交互方式设计，以进行所需的现场测试。该程序的模拟使学生能够熟悉在现场应该做什么来测量土壤导水率并加深对如何进行现场测试的理解。学生可以尝试不同的现场水文参数，通过连续改变任何水文现场参数，他们能够在课堂内以图形和交互方式可视化其影响。这一特殊步骤提高了学生的实践标准。该程序完全满足每个现场测试的有效性条件。交互式程序的结果在视觉上很有趣并且非常准确，这使得该教育程序在教学和学习中非常有趣。
