Infiltration in Porous Media with Dynamic Capillary Pressure: Travelling Waves
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a model for non-static groundwater flow where the saturation-pressure relation is extended by a dynamic term. This approach together with a convective term due to gravity, results in a pseudo-parabolic Burgers type equation. We give a rigorous study of global travelling wave solutions, with emphasis on the role played by the dynamic term and the appearance of fronts.

A Model Problem for Unsaturated Porous Media Flow with Dynamic Capillary Pressure
We consider a simplified model of vertical non-static groundwater flow, resulting in a Burgers’ diffusive equation extended with a third order term with mixed derivatives in space and time. This model is motivated by previous work on the existence of travelling wave solutions on a more general model. We investigate stability of travelling wave solutions of the simplified model, for which we fir...
متن کاملTransport Property Estimation of Non-Uniform Porous Media
In this work a glass micromodel which its grains and pores are non-uniform in size, shape and distribution is considered as porous medium. A two-dimensional random network model of micromodel with non-uniform pores has been constructed. The non-uniformity of porous model is achieved by assigning parametric distribution functions to pores throat and pores length, which was measured using ima...

متن کاملA global existence result for the equations describing unsaturated flow in porous media with dynamic capillary pressure
In this paper we investigate the pseudoparabolic equation ∂tc = div { k (c) μ ( − P ′ C (c)∇c + τ∇∂tc + gρen )} , where τ is a positive constant, c is the moisture content, k is the hydraulic conductivity and PC is the static capillary pressure. This equation describes unsaturated flows in porous media with dynamic capillary pressure saturation relationship. In general, such models arise in a n...
