Experimental research into the hydraulic conductivity curve (HCC) of unsaturated soil is
limited due to the inherent challenge associated with labor, cost, and time. Typically, the …

Although numerous numerical models have been proposed for simulating the coupled
hydromechanical behaviors in unsaturated soils, few studies satisfactorily reproduced the …

持水曲线是研究非饱和土的渗透, 强度和体变等水力− 力学特性的重要工具.
大多数既有持水曲线模型未能反映非饱和土的持水机制或形式较复杂, 且对双峰或多峰形态的持 …

The pore structure of soils and rocks plays a crucial role in geotechnical, geo-environmental
and geological engineering, as it dominates the hydro-mechanical behaviour, gas-and …

The hysteresis of the water retention curve is significant for evaluating the hydraulic
properties of unsaturated porous media. Traditionally, the hysteresis of unsaturated flows is …

Permeability function is one of the key functions in unsaturated soil mechanics, which is
often estimated from the soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) of a soil. Mualem's …

Most classical predictive models of relative permeability conceptualize the pores in porous
media as assemblies of uniform capillary tubes with different sizes. However, this …

Soil water retention curves (SWRCs) form an essential component of frameworks coupling
the hydromechanical behaviour of unsaturated soils. The curves describe how suction …

Estimation of unsaturated hydraulic conductivity could benefit many engineering or research
problems such as water flow in the vadose zone, unsaturated seepage and capillary barriers …
