## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools for geotechnical and hydrological analysis. It allows AI agents to calculate saturated hydraulic conductivity ($K_{sat}$) using the Kozeny-Carman relationship and determine unsaturated conductivity via the van Genuchten-Mualem model. Users can also analyze pore size distribution and calculate temperature-based viscosity adjustments to ensure accurate flow modeling in various environmental conditions.

## Tools

### get_pore_size_distribution
Analyzes the internal structure of the medium to understand how pore sizes are distributed

### get_saturated_conductivity
Calculates the maximum water flow capacity when the medium is fully saturated

### get_unsaturated_conductivity
Determines the water flow rate when the medium is partially saturated

### get_viscosity_adjustment
Calculates the specific multiplier needed to adjust conductivity based on temperature

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:**

The distribution index is 0.12 and the dominant pore size is 0.005.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate saturated conductivity?**
You can use the `get_saturated_conductivity` tool by providing the particle size, porosity, bulk density, and temperature.

**Can this tool account for temperature changes?**
Yes, the `get_viscosity_adjustment` tool calculates the multiplier needed to adjust conductivity based on water viscosity changes at different temperatures.

**How is unsaturated flow modeled?**
Unsaturated flow is modeled using the `get_unsaturated_conductivity` tool, which implements the van Genuchten-Mualem framework.
