Catchment-scale spatial variability analysis of soil hydro-physical properties in a semi-arid region of Iran
Soil hydrau-physical data are important for many hydrological modelings. They are the main variables controllingthe key processes such as water and chemicals movement and transport in the soil profiles. This study was conductedin order to analyze the spatial distribution of selected soil hydrau-physcial characteristics including infiltration rate(IR), saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks), bulk...
متن کاملRelation of hydraulic conductivity and dispersivity to scale of measurement in a carbonate aquifer
Tests on several scales were analyzed and conducted in a dolomite aquifer of southeastern Wisconsin to examine the variation of hydraulic conductivity and longitudinal dispersivity with scale of measurement. Scale behavior of hydraulic conductivity was shown to be dependent on the hydrofacies. In vuggy fades dominated by porous flow hydraulic conductivity increased relative to scale linearly wi...
متن کاملEquivalent 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...
متن کاملSelection of Intermodal Conductivity Averaging Scheme for Unsaturated Flow in Homogeneous Media
The nonlinear solvers in numerical solution of water flow in variably saturated soils are prone to convergence difficulties. Many aspects can give rise to such difficulties, like very dry initial conditions, a steep pressure gradient and great variation of hydraulic conductivity occur across the wetting front during the infiltration of water. So, the averaging method applied to compute hydraul...
متن کاملComparison of instream methods for measuring hydraulic conductivity in sandy streambeds.
Streambed hydraulic conductivity (K) values were determined at seven stream transects in the Platte River Basin in Nebraska using different instream measurement techniques. Values were compared to determine the most appropriate technique(s) for use in sandy streambeds. Values of K determined from field falling- and constant-head permeameter tests analyzed using the Darcy equation decreased as p...
