We develop a closed-form three-parameter model for unsaturated hydraulic conductivity associated with the Kosugi three-parameter lognormal moisture retention model. The model derivation uses a slight modification to Mualem's theory, which…
Soil water retention curve (SWRC) and saturated hydraulic conductivity (SHC) are key hydraulic properties for unsaturated zone hydrology and groundwater. In particular, SWRC provides useful information on entry pore-size distribution, and…
In soil physics, saturated hydraulic conductivity, K_sat, is among the most important hydraulic properties with broad applications to modeling flow and transport under saturated conditions. Its accurate estimation, however, is challenging…
Electrical conductivity is one of the most commonly used geophysical method for reservoir and environmental studies. Its main interest lies in its sensitivity to key properties of storage and transport in porous media. Its quantitative use…
Unsaturated hydraulic ($K$) and electrical ($\sigma_b$) conductivity are often considered durability indicators of cement-based materials. However, $K$ is difficult to measure experimentally. This is due to the large pressure requirements…
Water retention is one of the key soil characteristics. Available models of soil water retention relate to the curve-fitting type. The objective of this work is to suggest a physical model of water retention (drying branch) for soils with a…
Modeling fluid flow in dual-porosity media with bi-modal pore size distributions has practical applications to understanding transport in multi-scale systems such as natural soils. Dual-porosity media are typically formed of two domains:…
We derive and study a new hyperbolic two-phase model of a porous deformable medium saturated by a viscous fluid. The governing equations of the model are derived in the framework of Symmetric Hyperbolic Thermodynamically Compatible (SHTC)…
This paper investigates the structural identifiability and a comparative calibration of four water retention curves (WRCs) within the framework of the Richards equation coupled with Darcy's law for capillary imbibition in porous media. The…
Floods are one of the deadliest natural hazards and are fueled by excessive urbanization. Urban development decreases infiltration by reducing pervious areas and increases the accumulation of pollutants during dry weather. During wet…
The soil water retention curve (SWRC) is the most commonly used relationship in the study of unsaturated soil. In this paper, the effect of porosity on the SWRC is investigated by numerically modeling unsaturated soil using the Shan-Chen…
Molecular dynamics simulations combined with periodic electronic structure calculations are performed to decipher structural, thermodynamical and dynamical properties of the interfaced vs. confined water adsorbed in hexagonal 1D channels of…
Modeling the unsaturated behavior of porous materials with multimodal pore size distributions presents significant challenges, as standard hydraulic models often fail to capture their complex, multi-scale characteristics. A common…
Transport phenomena in porous media are commonplace in our daily lives. Examples and applications include heat and moisture transport in soils, baking and drying of food stuffs, curing of cement, and evaporation of fuels in wild fires. Of…
SWRC Fit and unsatfit are programs developed for determining parameters of the water retention and the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity functions of soils for analyzing water movement in the unsaturated soil. The SWRC Fit is a web…
Multi-component fluid flow simulations in multi-scale porous structures often involve regions that are under-resolved at practical computational resolutions. Accurately capturing the contributions from these unresolved regions is critical.…

Inversion methodology has been used to obtain, from multi-layer soil probes records, a complete soil parametrisation, namely water retention curve, unsaturated conductivity curve and bulk density at 4 depths. The approach integrates water…
In this paper we derive a higher-order KdV equation (HKdV) as a model to describe the unidirectional propagation of waves on an internal interface separating two fluid layers of varying densities. Our model incorporates underlying currents…
In this paper we study a higher order viscous quasi-geostrophic type equation. This equation was derived in [11] as the limit dynamics of a singularly perturbed Navier-Stokes-Korteweg system with Coriolis force, when the Mach, Rossby and…
