Journal ArticleDOI
A dual-porosity model for simulating the preferential movement of water and solutes in structured porous media
TL;DR: In this paper, a dual-porosity model was developed for the purpose of studying variably saturated water flow and solute transport in structured soils or fractured rocks, where water in both pore systems is assumed to be mobile.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of a first-order water transfer term for variably saturated dual-porosity flow models
TL;DR: In this article, a general expression for the transfer coefficient αw was derived using Laplace transforms of the linearized horizontal flow equation, which was evaluated by comparing simulation results with those obtained with equivalent one-and two-dimensional single-porosity flow models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating Unsaturated Soil Hydraulic Properties from Tension Disc Infiltrometer Data by Numerical Inversion
Jiří Šimůnek,M. T. van Genuchten +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a parameter estimation procedure which combines the Levenberg-Marquardt nonlinear parameter optimization method involving weighted least squares, with a quasi-three-dimensional numerical model which solves the variably saturatedflow equation is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Significance of straining in colloid deposition: Evidence and implications
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight recent experimental evidence that indicates that straining can play an important role in colloid deposition under unfavorable attachment conditions and may explain many of the reported limitations of filtration theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parameter Equivalence for the Brooks-Corey and Van Genuchten Soil Characteristics: Preserving the Effective Capillary Drive
Hubert J. Morel-Seytoux,Philip D. Meyer,Mahmood H. Nachabe,Jaoudat Tourna,M. T. van Genuchten,R. J. Lenhard +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a simple way to convert Brooks-Corey (BC) parameters to van Genuchten (vG) parameters and vice versa, for use primarily in situations where saturated conditions are likely to be encountered.
