Hydraulic conductivity measurment for subsurface drainage system

Solutions of diffusion equation for point defects

An analytical solution of the equation describing diffusion of intrinsic point defects in semiconductor crystals has been obtained for a one-dimensional finite-length domain with the Robin-type boundary conditions. The distributions of point defects for different migration lengths of defects have been calculated. The exact analytical solution was used to verify the approximate numerical solutio...

Equivalent hydraulic conductivity of an experimental stratigraphy: Implications for basinscale flow simulations

[1] Critical issues facing basin-scale groundwater flow models are the estimation of representative hydraulic conductivity for the model units and the impact of nonrepresentation of within-unit conductivity heterogeneity on the model flow prediction. In this study, high-resolution, fully heterogeneous basin-scale hydraulic conductivity map is generated by scaling up an experimental stratigraphy...

Steady Groundwater Flow To Drains On A Sloping Bed: Comparison of Solutions based on Boussinesq Equation and Richards Equation

The steady groundwater flow of water to drains on a sloping bed is re-examined. Results from a number of solutions for the maximum watertable height (hm) for flow to drains on slopes are presented and compared with published HeleShaw model results and HYDRUS2D numerical model calculations. Numerical modelling shows that when the length of the slope (L)  < 50 m the ratio L/hm is affected by L (...

Effective Unsaturated Hydraulic Conductivity

Steady-state and transient one-dimensional unsaturated flow in vertically stratified porous media are examined. Saturated hydraulic conductivity and the alpha parameter of the exponential hydraulic conductivity function were assumed to vary from soil layer to soil layer. The use of effective unsaturated hydraulic conductivity to compute matric potential in the soil profile is demonstrated. Resu...
