FLASH-R (Flow-Log Analysis of Single Holes)

January 23, 2020

FLASH-R (Flow-Log Analysis of Single Holes) is an R app for the analysis of borehole vertical flow logs to estimate fracture (or layer) transmissivities and far-field hydraulic heads.
This app is a new version of the FLASH spreadsheet tool by Day-Lewis et al. (2011) . The program is written in R, an open-source environment.
All previous features have been retained and new features incorporated including more rigorous parameter estimation, uncertainty analysis, and improved data import.
The program has a dynamic user interface compatible with most operating systems.
