Effect of hysteresis on the stability of residual soil slope
International Soil and Water Conservation Research, 2019 Soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) is an essential parameter in unsaturated soil mechanics. Matric suction in unsaturated residual soils changes with varying climatic conditions associated with cyclic drying-wetting conditions that result in ...

A wetting and drying scheme for ROMS [PDF]
Computers & Geosciences, 2013 The processes of wetting and drying have many important physical and biological impacts on shallow water systems. Inundation and dewatering effects on coastal mud flats and beaches occur on various time scales ranging from storm surge, periodic rise and fall of the tide, to infragravity wave motions.

Hard colloidal rods near a soft wall: wetting, drying, and symmetry breaking
, 2006 Within an Onsager-like density functional theory we explore the thermodynamic and structural properties of an isotropic and nematic fluid of hard needle-like colloids in contact with a hard substrate coated with a soft short-ranged attractive or ...
