Alternative Analytical Expressions for the General van Genuchten–Mualem and van Genuchten–Burdine Hydraulic Conductivity Models [PDF]
The van Genuchten expressions for the unsaturated soil hydraulic properties, first published in 1980, are used frequently in various vadose zone flow and transport applications assuming a specific relationship between the m and n soil hydraulic ...

Spatial variability of parameters of the van Genuchten equation in a Latossolo Vermelho-Amarelo = Variabilidade espacial dos parâmetros da equação de van Genuchten em um Latossolo Vermelho-Amarelo [PDF]
The knowledge of the spatial variability of the van Genuchten equation parameters is important for the interpretation of certain indicators of soil physical quality, since some indices derived from the soil water retention curve.

PREDCTION OF SOIL MOISTURE CHARACTRIC CURVE BY USING VAN GENUCHTEN MODEL (1980) AND SOILPAR2 FOR SOME SOIL AT NINEVEH GOVERNORATE [PDF]
Five locations were chosen, two of them at the university of Mosul (L1, L2), and the other at Al-Shalalat (L3), Baybokh (L4) and Khorsobad (L5), all of them were chosen different in vegetation cover at Nineveh governorate, to study the moisture content ...

Approximation of van Genuchten Parameter Ranges from Hydraulic Conductivity Data
Abstract The use of retention function and relative conductivity function is essential for the calculation of flow in a variably saturated media using the Richards equation. A widely used mathematical model for this is the Mualem‐van Genuchten model which requires the shape parameters and .

Simulation of saturated and unsaturated flow in karst systems at catchment scale using a double continuum approach [PDF]
The objective of this work is the simulation of saturated and unsaturated flow in a karstified aquifer using a double continuum approach. The HydroGeoSphere code (Therrien et al., 2006) is employed to simulate spring discharge with the Richards equations
