Estimating hysteresis in the soil water retention function from cone permeameter experiments
Data obtained from modified cone penetrometer experiments were used to estimate the hysteretic soil hydraulic properties with a parameter estimation technique which combined a numerical solution of the Richards equation with Marquardt-Levenberg optimization. The modified cone penetrometer was designed to inject water into a soil through a cylindrical screen, measure the infiltration rate with t...
متن کاملEstimation of Water Retention Curve for Unsaturated Fine Soils
In order to obtain the soil water retention curve of an unsaturated soil which is defined as the relationship between water content and suction, extensive laboratory tests are essential. These laboratory tests are usually costly and time consuming. Moreover, for most practical problems, it has been found that approximate unsaturated soil properties are adequate for analysis. Thus, empirical pro...
متن کاملNew Polymer Tensiometers: Measuring Matric Pressures Down to the Wilting Point
Tensiometers are commonly used for measuring soil water matric pressures. Unfortunately, the water-filled reservoir of conventional tensiometers limits their applicability to soil water matric pressures above approximately20.085 MPa. Tensiometers filled with a polymer solution instead of water are able to measure a larger range of soil water matric pressures. We designed and constructed six pro...
متن کاملEvaluation of PTFs Developed From Large Databases for Iranian Soils To Predict SMRC
The majority of hydraulic processes under a natural condition in a field are carried out under unsaturated flow conditions. The soil moisture retention curve (SMRC) is the most important hydraulic characteristic of an unsaturated soil whose knowledge is of prime importance in soil-water studies such as soil conservation, soil erosion, land evaluation, soil reclamation, and water resources manag...
متن کاملاثر کشت بر رطوبت قابل دسترس خاک با استفاده از توابع انتقالی پارامتریک
Soil tillage changes chemical and physical properties which can change the soil available water capacity. For understanding the effect of soil disturbance in cultivated soil on available water, parameter pedotransfer functions of these soils created and their results were compared with measured available water by moisture release curves. For this purpose 54 soil samples were taken from cultiva...
