A fractal analysis of the water retention curve

Hydrological Processes, 2018
AbstractThe dependence of the soil water content ϑ upon the matric potential ψ is studied within a fractal approach that regards the water retention curve as a sequence of well defined fractal regimes. Each of such regimes accounts for a given functional dependence ϑ≡ϑ(ψ), which in turn is characterized by a fractal dimension.

Uncertainties in Water Retention Curve of Bentonite

2020
Bentonites are increasingly used for various geoenvironmental applications (e.g. hydraulic barriers and waste containment) owing to its low hydraulic conductivity and high water retention capacity. Investigating the aforementioned problems necessitates the knowledge of the water retention curve (WRC) of bentonite, which maps the variation of the degree

Soil-Water Retention Curve

2018
Soil/water retention curve (SWRC) is the relationship between soil/water matric potential and volumetric soil-water content at equilibrium above the reference (zero) level represented by the free water table at atmospheric pressure. SWRC is the basic soil characteristic needed as input data for simulation models. SWRCs have a hysteresis-like character,

Hysteresis of Water Retention Curve of Saline Soil

Unsaturated Soils 2006, 2006
The soil water retention curve of a soil is usually not unique. It depends on the soil water flow process. Fully primary curves for draining and wetting processes are necessary in soil water flow modeling. Usually, the primary draining curve can be produced from an experiment with a hanging column apparatus together with a pressure plate apparatus ...

Closing the Loop of the Soil Water Retention Curve

Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2015
AbstractThe authors, to their knowledge for the first time, produced two complete principal soil water retention curves (SWRCs) under both positive and negative matric suction regimes. An innovative testing technique combining the transient water release and imbibition method (TRIM) and constant flow method (CFM) was used to identify the principal ...
