In this paper, a computational framework based on the Material Point Method is developed
to study the coupled seepage-deformation process in unsaturated soils. Governing …

Research into processes governing the hydrologic connectivity of depressional wetlands
has advanced rapidly in recent years. Nevertheless, a need persists for broadly applicable …

This study introduces a model based on Richards' equation to describe variably-saturated
beach groundwater flow. The surface wave propagation is computed by the phase-resolving …

It is computationally difficult to model unsaturated flow through a highly fractured rock system
that contains porous rock matrix, densely distributed fracture networks and narrowly spaced …

Steady, phreatic flows in wedge-shaped aquifers subtended by a tilted bedrock and
discharged through a hillslope seepage face are studied by 2-D and 1-D analytical models …

Weathering of bedrock creates and occludes permeability, affecting subsurface water flow.
Often, weathering intensifies above the water table. On the contrary, weathering can also …

Numerical solution of Richards' equation remains challenging to get robust, accurate and
cost-effective results, particularly for moving sharp wetting fronts. An adaptive strategy for …

Ground temperatures in coarse, blocky deposits such as mountain blockfields and rock
glaciers have long been observed to be lower in comparison with other (sub) surface …

This work addresses the impact of climate change on the hydrology of a catchment in the
Mediterranean, a region that is highly susceptible to variations in rainfall and other …

Richards equation is often used to represent two-phase fluid flow in an unsaturated porous
medium when one phase is much heavier and more viscous than the other. However, it …
