1‐D, 2‐D, and 3‐D Infiltration for Irrigation

Abstract

Models for one‐, two‐, and three‐dimensional infiltration for irrigation are derived using an energy equation and Darcy's law. The models were verified with Fok and Chiang's (4) experimental data. A good agreement is found between the model‐computed and observed values of infiltration. Average relative error of cumulative infiltration values is less than 5%.
