Stochastic analysis of flow in a heterogeneous unsaturated-saturated system
[1] In this study we develop a stochastic model for transient unsaturated-saturated flow in randomly heterogeneous media with the method of moment equations. We first derive partial differential equations governing the statistical moments of the flow quantities by perturbation expansions and then implement these equations under general conditions with the method of finite differences. The stoch...
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 ...
متن کاملStochastic analysis of saturated–unsaturated flow in heterogeneous media by combining Karhunen-Loeve expansion and perturbation method
In this study, a stochastic model for transient saturated–unsaturated flow is developed based on the Karhunen-Loeve expansion of the input random soil properties combined with a perturbation method. The log-transformed saturated hydraulic conductivity f ðxÞ and the soil pore size distribution parameter aðxÞ are assumed to be normal random functions with known covariances. We decompose f ðxÞ and...
متن کاملStochastic analysis of transient saturated flow through heterogeneous fractured porous media: A double-permeability approach
In this paper we use a double-porosity/double-permeability approach to study transient, saturated flow in heterogeneous, fractured porous media. The spatial variabilities in both the fracture and matrix continua motivate us to treat some of the fracture and matrix medium properties as stochastic processes. Hence flow through heterogeneous, fractured porous media is also amenable to stochastic a...
متن کاملNonstationary stochastic analysis of transient unsaturated flow in randomly heterogeneous media
In this study, a first-order, nonstationary stochastic model of transient flow is developed which is applicable to the entire domain of a bounded vadose zone in the presence of sink/source. We derive general equations governing the statistical moments of the flow quantities by perturbation expansions. Owing to the mathematical complexity of the equations, in general we need to solve them numeri...
