Fig. 5. Influence of the skewness on the effective averaging schemes for Formula 17 = 6.0 and h = 0.5: (a) Gardner model, (b) Brooks–Corey model, (c) van Genuchten model. E, effective parameter coefficient; CS, coefficient of skewness; h, dimensionless suction head at surface; Formula 17, mean value of dimensionless van Genuchten {alpha}.
