Soil hydraulic characteristics

Based on the data for two soils (given in tables on next slide), determine the van Genuchten’s parameters of retention curve. Use van Genuchten’s (m=1-1/n) model for retention curve and Mualem’s model for conductivity curve. Plot retention curves and hydraulic conductivity curves for both soils

Presentation Transcript

  1. Based on the data for two soils (given in tables on next slide), determine the van Genuchten’s parameters of retention curve. Use van Genuchten’s (m=1-1/n) model for retention curve and Mualem’s model for conductivity curve. Plot retention curves and hydraulic conductivity curves for both soils Decide, which soil is loamy and which is sandy. According to given tensiometer’s measurements (see the 3rd slide), plot pressure head (h), hydraulic head (H), moisture content and hydraulic conductivity profiles. Based on the plots from previous point, decide the water flow direction (upwards or downwards)? Soil hydraulic characteristics With use of RETC plot the retention and hydraulic conductivity curves for two soils
