Morphology of rain water channelization in systematically varied model sandy soils [PDF]
Physical Review Applied 2, 044004 (2014), 2014 We visualize the formation of fingered flow in dry model sandy soils under different raining conditions using a quasi-2d experimental set-up, and systematically determine the impact of soil grain diameter and surface wetting property on water channelization phenomenon.

Rain water transport and storage in a model sandy soil with hydrogel particle additives [PDF]
European Physical Journal E 37, 97 (2014), 2013 We study rain water infiltration and drainage in a dry model sandy soil with superabsorbent hydrogel particle additives by measuring the mass of retained water for non-ponding rainfall using a self-built 3D laboratory set-up. In the pure model sandy soil, the retained water curve measurements indicate that instead of a stable horizontal wetting front ...
