The water retention curve (WRC) and the hydraulic conductivity function (HCF) are key
ingredients in most analytical and numerical models for flow and transport in unsaturated …

This work reviews the transient two-phase flow in porous media with engineering
applications in Geotechnics. It initially overviews constitutive relationships, conventional …

This third edition offers a comprehensive overview of the latest theories on flow, transport,
and heat-exchange processes in porous media. It also details sophisticated porous media …

The exact characterization of soil hydraulic properties is essential for various purposes, such
as agricultural and groundwater management. Various laboratory methods for the …

The phenomenon of snap-off during imbibition in porous media, a fundamental two-phase
fluid flow phenomenon, plays a crucial role in both crude oil production and carbon dioxide …

Soil pore space can change over time due to tillage, frost, wetting and drying cycles, plant
roots, and compaction. However, a soil water retention curve (SWRC) is usually considered …

Abstract The Peters–Durner–Iden (PDI) model system for describing soil hydraulic
properties (SHP) has been developed over a decade. Inspired by Rien van Genuchten's …

While experimental designs developed in recent decades have contributed to research on
dynamic nonequilibrium effects in transient two-phase flow in porous media, this problem …

The dynamic effects in soil water retention curves (SWRCs) have been the focus of much
research. However, most studies implemented short column tests in a few centimeters …

Hydro-pedotransfer functions (PTFs) relate easy-to-measure and readily available soil
information to soil hydraulic properties (SHPs) for applications in a wide range of process …
