Flow 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 کاملAnalytical solutions to steady state unsaturated flow in layered, randomly heterogeneous soils via Kirchhoff transformation
In this study, we derive analytical solutions of the first two moments (mean and variance) of pressure head for one-dimensional steady state unsaturated flow in a randomly heterogeneous layered soil column under random boundary conditions. We first linearize the steady state unsaturated flow equations by Kirchhoff transformation and solve the moments of the transformed variable up to second ord...
متن کاملModelling plasticity of unsaturated soils in a thermodynamically consistent framework
Constitutive equations of unsaturated soils are often derived in a thermodynamically consistent framework through the use a unique ’effective’ interstitial pressure. This later is naturally chosen as the space averaged interstitial pressure. However, experimental observations have revealed that two stress state variables were needed to describe the stressstrain-strength behaviour of unsaturated...

متن کاملComparison 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...
