A fractal-based model for soil water characteristic curve over entire range of water content
Soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) has been an important role in hydraulic engineering, civil engineer and petroleum engineering, etc. Most of SWCC models neglected the film flow in the dry state, so that they cannot accurately describe the SWCC over entire range of water content. In this work, an alternative fractal model is proposed to predict the SWCC over entire range of water content by combining Campbell and Shiozawa model and Tao model. The proposed model can well predict twelve sets of experimental data, and its parameters, including the fractal dimension, the saturated volumetric water content, the matric suction at oven-dry condition, and the air-entry value, accord with theoretical value. The results show that there is a strong linear relationship between volumetric water content and matrix suction in log-log scale for different fractal pore-size distribution of soils. In addition, good agreement is obtained between the experimental data and the model predictions in all of the cases. Cited as : Jin, T., Cai, X., Chen, Y., Jiang, S., Wei, W.

期刊介绍:
Capillarity publishes high-quality original research articles and current reviews on fundamental scientific principles and innovations of capillarity in physics, chemistry, biology, environmental science and related emerging fields. All advances in theoretical, numerical and experimental approaches to capillarity in capillary tube and interface dominated structure and system area are welcome.
The following topics are within (but not limited to) the scope of capillarity:
i) Capillary-driven phenomenon in natural/artificial tubes, porous and nanoporous materials
ii) Fundamental mechanisms of capillarity aided by theory and experiments
iii) Spontaneous imbibition, adsorption, wicking and related applications of capillarity in hydrocarbon production, chemical process and biological sciences
iv) Static and dynamic interfacial processes, surfactants, wettability, film and colloids
v) New approaches and technologies on capillarity
Capillarity is a quarterly open access journal and free to read for all. The journal provides a communicate platform for researchers who are interested in all fields of capillary phenomenon.
