Coupled hydromechanical and electromagnetic disturbances in unsaturated porous materials
A theory of cross-coupled flow equations in unsaturated soils is necessary to predict (1) electroosmotic flow with application to electroremediation and agriculture, (2) the electroseismic and the seismoelectric effects to develop new geophysical methods to characterize the vadose zone, and (3) the streaming current, which can be used to investigate remotely ground water flow in unsaturated con...
متن کاملhy si cs Seismoelectric wave propagation numerical modelling in partially saturated materials
To better understand and interpret seismoelectric measurements acquired over vadose environments , both the existing theory and the wave propagation modelling programmes, available for saturated materials, should be extended to partial saturation conditions. We propose here an extension of Pride's equations aiming to take into account partially saturated materials, in the case of a water–air mi...
متن کاملAn Algorithm for Modeling and Interpretation of Seismoelectric Data
Generally speaking, seismoelectric modeling is a prospecting method based on seismic and electromagnetic waves, in which waves generated by a seismic source at the boundary of the two environments generate a relative fluid-solid motion formed as a result of antagonism between the elastic properties of the environment with the saturated fluid. This research has as its objective, a study of the e...
متن کاملAsymptotic Behaviour of Wetting Fronts in Porous Media with Exponential Moisture Diffusivity
Abstract. We investigate the asymptotic behaviour of the wetting front arising from unsaturated flow in porous media wherein the liquid saturation θ obeys a nonlinear diffusion equation having moisture diffusivity that is an exponential function D(θ) = Do exp(βθ). For values of the physical parameters corresponding to actual porous media, the diffusivity at the residual value of saturation is D...
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...
