FIG. 8. Schematic representation of the dynamic decrease of the water content-dependent contact angle with time t (Fig. 7a) and positive pressure h (Fig. 7b) in the vicinity of a wetting front. Parameters used were {theta}crit = 2 Vol.-%, {theta}FK = 18 Vol.-%, {kappa}max = 110°, {kappa}min = 0, characteristic rewetting time to = 30 d, breakthrough pressure ho = 30 cm.
