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 ...

Prediction of Soil Water Characteristic Curve Based on Soil Water Evaporation [PDF]
Advances in Civil Engineering, 2021 Soil water characteristic curves (SWCC) and soil water evaporation curves both represent the laws of water content variation in the natural state. Aiming to investigate the relationship between them further, Hunan sand with six dry densities were used in this study, and a series of experimental studies were performed.
