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 ...

Two-Factor Model of Soil Suction from Capillarity, Shrinkage, Adsorbed Film, and Intra-aggregate Structure [PDF]
The Open Hydrology Journal 4 (2010) 44-64, 2014 The objective of this work is to derive the soil water retention from the soil structure without curve-fitting and only using the physical parameters found irrespective of an experimental retention curve. Two key points underlie the work: (i) the soil suction at drying coincides with that of the soil intra-aggregate matrix and contributive clay; and ...

Impact of sensor placement in soil water estimation: A real-case study [PDF]
, 2022 One of the essential elements in implementing a closed-loop irrigation system is soil moisture estimation based on a limited number of available sensors. One associated problem is the determination of the optimal locations to install the sensors such that good soil moisture estimation can be obtained.
