Abstract:

Simulation of water and salt transfer in soil is very effective in managing optimal water and fertilizer use in the field. In this study, the HYDRUS-1D model was used to simulate the transfer of water and bromide in a laboratory column of soil with clay loam texture. Soil hydraulic parameters (including air entry point) α, (saturated hydraulic conductivity) ks, (residual moisture content) θr (saturation moisture content) θs, (pore and particle joint parameter) l (parameter of moisture curve shape) n through measurement and using Retc software was obtained Solubility transfer parameters including difiusion coefficient and actual velocity were estimated using soil hydraulic parameters and bromide concentration data by reverse modeling method. According to the target coefficients, the sensitivity analysis of the physical model was performed .The results showed that the correlation coefficient of observation and simulation bromide concentration in optimal mode was 0.84%. accordingly, the diffusion coefficient was estimated to be 4.9 cm. based on the results of the sensitivity analysis, the saturation hydraulic conductivity had the greatest effect on the variation of this parameter, so that the amount sensitivity coefficient of this parameter was 2.64 The RMSE coefficient with a value of 0.04 was the lowest and ME coefficient with the value of -0.0001 had the most parameter variations.

Transport 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...

Sensitivity Analysis of Hydraulic Parameters in the Simulation of Unsaturated Soil Water Dynamics

Soil water content is one of the most important parameters for estimating irrigation frequency and providing the plant’s water requirement. Since measurement of soil water content is both expensive and time consuming, water movement models are used to estimate these values. In this study, LEACHW model was used to estimate soil water content for two “dry” (20-29 Aug) and “wet” (1-6 Jul) periods ...

تخمین پارامترهای هیدرولیکی خاک‌های دارای اشباع‌شدگی متغیر به‌‌روش مدل سازی معکوس و بهره‌گیری از داده‌های توزیع مجدد رطوبت

Modeling of flow and transport processes in variably saturated porous media requires detailed knowledge of the soil hydraulic properties. The hydraulic properties to be determined by the inverse problem solution are the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity K(h) and the water retention curve θ(h). The inverse modeling approach assumes that both θ(h) and K(h) as well as transport parame...

Hydraulic tortuosity in arbitrary porous media flow.

Tortuosity (T) is a parameter describing an average elongation of fluid streamlines in a porous medium as compared to free flow. In this paper several methods of calculating this quantity from lengths of individual streamlines are compared and their weak and strong features are discussed. An alternative method is proposed, which enables one to calculate T directly from the fluid velocity field,...
