A new equation for the soil water retention curve

European Journal of Soil Science, 2014
Summary The soil water retention curve is a fundamental characteristic of unsaturated zone flow and transport properties. Recent studies show that an air‐entry value is needed in a soil water retention equation in order to provide a better prediction of relative hydraulic conductivity. A new equation considering the air‐entry value is

Determination of the Soil Water Retention Curve with Tensiometers

, 2007
An alternative technique for the determination of the soil water retention curve has recently been proposed whereby a tensiometer is used to measure soil suction and a balance to record the water content variations. The soil water retention curve is obtained by drying the soil either continuously or by stages (i.e.

Modeling Soil Water Retention Curve with a Fractal Method

Pedosphere, 2006
ABSTRACT Many empirical models have been developed to describe the soil water retention curve (SWRC). In this study, a fractal model for SWRC was derived with a specially constructed Menger sponge to describe the fractal scaling behavior of soil; relationships were established among the fractal dimension of SWRC, the fractal dimension of soil mass ...

An Improved Volume Measurement for Determining Soil Water Retention Curves

Geotechnical Testing Journal, 2007
Abstract The complete determination of soil water retention curves requires the sample volume to be measured in order to calculate its void ratio and degree of saturation. During drying in the pressure plate apparatus, cracks often appear in the sample altering its deformation and evaporation patterns.

Parameter estimation of the soil water retention curve model with Jaya algorithm

Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, 2018
Abstract Parameter estimation of the soil water retention curve model using Jaya algorithm is studied in this paper. Different from conventional heuristic search algorithms, Jaya algorithm is a swarm intelligence algorithm without algorithm-specific parameters.
