Darcy’s Law and Unsaturated Flow
AK(y) [3] treat the equation of motion for moisture movement in an unsaturated soil to be effectively the same as Darcy’s Law. How credible is this perception? There are two ways to approach this question. One is to examine the way exThe integral in the denominator on the right-hand side of Eq. [3] represents the resistance to flow. In general, perimental data are mathematically interpreted, an...
متن کاملSimilitude of ice dynamics against scaling of geometry and physical parameters
The concept of similitude is commonly employed in the fields of fluid dynamics and engineering but rarely used in cryospheric research. Here we apply this method to the problem of ice flow to examine the dynamic similitude of isothermal ice sheets in shallow-shelf approximation against the scaling of their geometry and physical parameters. Carrying out a dimensional analysis of the stress balan...
متن کاملImpact of Geometric Scaling on Centrifugal Compressor Performance
Compressor performance for liquefied natural gas (LNG) main refrigeration units is very important due to the direct link between compressor efficiency and LNG production for a fixed amount of power. Dresser-Rand recently designed a series of new stages for the LNG market that provided improved efficiency and a wider range of operation. Industry practice is to rig test new stages prior to applic...
متن کاملGroundwater recharge simulation using a coupled saturated-unsaturated flow model
Abstract The coupled MODFLOW-HYDRUS software package was used to produce a saturated-unsaturated flow model for a Flood Spreading System (FSS) and its associated aquifer. The study aim to improve simulations of near-surface hydrological processes, including temporal and spatial variation in groundwater recharge rates. The coupled model was built with average RMSE=1.1 and 1.3 for calibration ...
