Flow recession behavior of preferential subsurface flow patterns with minimum energy dissipation
Jannick Strüven,

Abstract:Abstract. Understanding the properties of preferential flow patterns is a major
challenge in subsurface hydrology. Most of the theoretical approaches in this field stem from research on karst aquifers, where two or three distinct flow components with different timescales are typically considered. This study is based on a different concept: a continuous spatial variation in transmissivity and storativity over several orders of magnitude is assumed. The distribution and spatial pattern of these properties are de… Show more
