Comparing van Genuchten and Percolation Theoretical Formulations of the Hydraulic Properties of Unsaturated Media

Department of Physics, Wright State Univ., 3640 Colonel Glenn Hwy., Dayton, OH 45435

View larger version (17K): [in a new window]   Fig. 1. A comparison of the van Genuchten parameterization for K with the critical path analysis prediction for K. The latter uses = 0.6, D = 2.81, and t = 0.1. The moisture content at which Eq. [6] is replaced by Eq. [9] is 0.154. The former uses = 0.6, m = 0.285714, and r = 0.1. Equation [13] for the water-retention curve relates S to the hydraulic head, h, to the –(3 – D) = –0.19 power, whereas the van Genuchten parameterization, with the condition m = 1 – 1/n, yields Sh–0.4 for large h.
