Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 1998 Two common methods to assess soil hydrophobicity are the ‘Water Drop Penetration Time’ and ‘Molarity of an Ethanol Droplet’ techniques. For these, uncertainty exists regarding the representativeness of laboratory tests reflecting field conditions, their replicability, and the comparability of results between the two techniques.

Small-scale contact angle mapping on undisturbed soil surfaces
Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2013 Research of the last years pointed out that most soils are neither completely hydrophilic nor hydrophobic, but exhibit a subcritical level of water repellency (i.e. contact angle, CA > 0° and < 90°).

Implications of ideas on super-hydrophobicity for water repellent soil [PDF]
, 2007 Water repellence is an important factor in soil erosion due to its role in inhibiting the re-establishment of vegetation after fire and due to its enhancement of run-off.

Extent and persistence of soil water repellency induced by pines in different geographic regions
Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2018 The extent (determined by the repellency indices RI and RIc) and persistence (determined by the water drop penetration time, WDPT) of soil water repellency (SWR) induced by pines were assessed in vastly different geographic regions.

Absorption and rheological phenomena during foam application on textiles [PDF]
, 1992 A simple rheological model has been used to describe foam flow through moving textile assemblies. The validity of this model was tested, and the nature and the relative magnitude of deviations from the model evaluated for several different substrates ...
