Numerical Simulation of Soil Evaporation with Sand Mulching and Inclusion
A model of unsaturated soil-water movement using a prediction model of basic physical soil properties for calculating correlation functions was developed using VADOSE/W. The reliability of the model was assessed by comparing the results with those of a soil-column test. Coefficients of determination, R2, between the simulated and the measured daily evaporation for sand-mulch thicknesses of 0 (c...
متن کاملEstimating Evaporation Coefficient during Two-stage Evaporation from Soil Surfaces
Evaporation coefficient (KE) is defined as the ratio of actual evaporation over potential evaporation under the same atmospheric conditions. The use of KE provides an alternative means for evaluating soil moisture status and quantifying soil evaporation by reducing in situ measurements. However, little effort has been made to evaluate the estimation of KE over soil surfaces. In this study, a re...
متن کاملCalculation of humidity during evaporation from soil
The relative humidity at the surface of a soil is calculated as a function of time from a realistic, exactly solvable model for unsaturated fluid flow. When the evaporation rate is constant, as in the atmosphere-controlled phase, the surface relative humidity suddenly drops at a particular time, even though the humidity–time function is differentiable. This sudden transition still occurs, but i...
متن کاملThe Effect of Mulch Type and Thickness on the Soil Surface Evaporation Rate
There is a continual drive to conserve water and improve irrigation efficiency in agriculture, especially in regions where water resources are limited and regulated. Mulching is one cultural practice which can be used to reduce water needs. Using certain agricultural byproducts as mulch is a sustainable practice which can provide other benefits as well such as improving soil. Wheat straw, grass...
متن کاملRate control in dual source evaporation
Two-component thin films are deposited in a high-vacuum system from two close sources, heated by an electron beam which is deflected between them. By using quartz-crystal monitors the evaporation rates are measured separately, which is usually considered to be problematical. One rate signal is used to regulate the appropriate deposition rate by controlling the emission current. The other deposi...
