Abstract: When modeling the seepage process in a variably saturated porous medium, it is crucial to properly characterize the effects of hydraulic hysteresis. In this paper, a theoretical model of two-phase flow in porous media is ...

Abstract: When drying from a fully saturated state, soil transits from saturation to unsaturation, activating the effects of capillarity, adsorption, and osmosis. Traditionally, these effects have been elusive in modeling soil ...

Abstract: The relation between the soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) and the soil freezing characteristic curve (SFCC) is investigated based on the similarity between the freezing/thawing and drying/wetting behaviors of soils. ...

Abstract: The pore-water status, including adsorptive and capillary water, in expansive clay with different dry densities was investigated under the effect of temperature and saline solution via the nuclear magnetic resonance ...
