Prediction of the saturated hydraulic conductivity from Brooks and Coreys water retention parameters
[1] Prediction of flow through variably saturated porous media requires accurate knowledge of the soil hydraulic properties, namely the water retention function (WRF) and the hydraulic conductivity function (HCF). Unfortunately, direct measurement of the HCF is time consuming and expensive. In this study, we derive a simple closed-form equation that predicts the saturated hydraulic conductivity...
متن کاملMeasurement Scale Effect on Prediction of Soil Water Retention Curve and Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity
Soil water retention curve (SWRC) and saturated hydraulic conductivity (SHC) are key hydraulic properties for unsaturated zone hydrology and groundwater. In particular, SWRC provides useful information on entry pore-size distribution, and SHC is required for flow and transport modeling in the hydrologic cycle. Not only the SWRC and SHC measurements are time-consuming, but also scale dependent. ...

In order to assess hydraulics of LNAPLs in soil, the soil retention curves of petroleum and water were both determined through hanging column method. And, the hydraulic conductivity of petroleum and water were determined by steady head method. The water and petroleum hydraulic conductivities were 7.27 and 57.84 cm.day-1, respectively. The soil retention parameters were obtained based on van Gen...
متن کاملsimultaneous scaling of soil water retention and hydraulic conductivity functions
abstract scaling methods, which are based on similar media theory, are used to simplify the statistic description of soil spatial variations. to simulate the water flow in heterogeneous soils, simultaneous scaling of soil hydraulic functions, including soil water retention and unsaturated hydraulic conductivity functions, is highly desirable. in the similar media theory, the simultaneous scalin...
متن کاملapplication of artificial neural networks in prediction of saturated hydraulic conductivity using soil physical parameters
soil hydraulic properties such as saturated and unsaturated hydraulic conductivity play an important role in environmental research. since direct measurement of these soil hydraulic properties is time-consuming and costly, indirect methods such as pedotransfer functions and artificial neural networks (ann) were developed based on readily available parameters. in this study, the use of ann to pr...
