Abstract:Preferential flow has been increasingly recognized as a process of great practical significance for the transport of water and contamination in field soils. Recently, fractal has been applied to characterize the geometry of stain patterns of soil profiles. The field experiment involved loamy and sandy soils. The sequence of images of horizontal cross-sections of stain patterns in the two soils suggest that fingering occurred in the loamy soil, not in the sandy soil. Yet, the surface fractal dimensions of the s… Show more
