A Formulation for Scanning Soil-water Characteristic Curves

Journal of Polytechnic, 2018
The hysteretic nature of soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) is captured assuming the virgin drying and virgin wetting (a.k.a. imbibition) curves; which can be obtained from experiments or various fitting equations in the literature, bound all possible values during transition from one regime to the other.
