Comparison of 1D models of water flow in unsaturated soils
Understanding the interaction between soil, vegetation and atmosphere processes and groundwater dynamics is of paramount importance in water resources planning and management in many practical applications. Hydrological models of complex water resources systems need to include a number of components and should therefore seek a balance between capturing all relevant processes and maintaining dat...
متن کاملFlow Simulation in Unsaturated, Heterogeneous Soils
Porous media flow models are applied in important areas of interest, including environmental studies or industrial applications. In this case, large-scale experiments are usually expensive, or even impossible, so computer simulations should replace them. Here we focus on the numerical simulation of a flow in an unsaturated, heterogeneous soil. We summarize briefly some results concerning the mo...
متن کاملEstimation of Water Retention Curve for Unsaturated Fine Soils
In order to obtain the soil water retention curve of an unsaturated soil which is defined as the relationship between water content and suction, extensive laboratory tests are essential. These laboratory tests are usually costly and time consuming. Moreover, for most practical problems, it has been found that approximate unsaturated soil properties are adequate for analysis. Thus, empirical pro...
متن کاملComparison of Finite Difference Schemes for Water Flow in Unsaturated Soils
Flow movement in unsaturated soil can be expressed by a partial differential equation, named Richards equation. The objective of this study is the finding of an appropriate implicit numerical solution for head based Richards equation. Some of the well known finite difference schemes (fully implicit, Crank Nicolson and Runge-Kutta) have been utilized in this study. In addition, the effects of di...
متن کاملAn evolutionary approach to modelling the soil-water characteristic curve in unsaturated soils
In this paper a new approach is presented based on evolutionary polynomial regression (EPR) for modelling of soil–water characteristic curve in unsaturated soils. EPR is an evolutionary data mining technique that generates a transparent and structured representation of the behaviour of a system directly from data. This method can operate on large quantities of data in order to capture nonlinear...
