The soil water retention curve (SWRC) and soil hydraulic conductivity (K) are important soil
hydraulic properties. In Oxisols, the degree of microaggregation depends on the amount of …

Unsaturated flow influences both the seawater extent under steady‐state conditions and the
propagation of tides in coastal aquifers. However, its effects on salt distributions in tidally …

Watertable fluctuations are a characteristic feature of coastal unconfined aquifers. They
interact with the vadose zone creating a dynamic effective porosity, for which a new …

Modelling of flow and transport in unsaturated soils requires information on two fundamental
hydraulic properties: the soil water retention curve and relative hydraulic conductivity. A …

Numerical simulation of unsaturated soil hydrology relies on calibrated soil hydraulic
parameters, which are subject to uncertainty due to imperfect information during the inverse …

The sustainable exploitation of groundwater resources is a multifaceted and complex
problem, which is controlled, among many other factors and processes, by water flow in …

Thermal and moisture diffusions in the sand-based materials are important factors for the
thermal performance of ground heat exchangers in the ground source heat pumps. Based …

Hygroscopic bilayers replicating the morphing capability of plants upon hydration (eg,
pinecone scales, chiral seed pods) have gained much attention in robotics and material …

Acquiring soil hydrothermal information using process-based models is important for
agricultural management in dry alpine regions where in situ data collection is difficult …

Interactions between the tide and sloping sea boundary make watertable fluctuations in
coastal unconfined aquifers complicated. Based on a perturbation method, we derived a …
