Water Transport in Unsaturated Nonisothermal Salty Soil: I. Experimental Results

Abstract: This paper presents observed soil moisture redistribution within unsaturated soil in response to imposed boundary temperatures. Both salinized and solute‐free soil conditions are studied. Two different uniform initial soil water contents and solute concentrations are used for the salinized soil columns. Likewise, two different uniform initial soil water contents are used for solute‐free soil columns. High and low boundary temperatures are similar for all of the soil columns. Thus, the experiments are designed … Show more

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] In addition, temperature variation may affect such flows where the hydraulic properties of the porous media such as hydraulic conductivity and water retention are temperature dependent. [9][10][11][12] Conventional approaches for modeling of immiscible two-phase flow in porous media involve the use of an extended version of Darcy's law 3,13,14 for multiphase flows in conjunction with the use of constitutive relationships between capillary pressure, saturation, and relative permeability (P c -S-K r ) based on quasi-static conditions. 15,16 These P c -S-K r relationships are highly nonlinear in nature and depend on flow hydrodynamics (dynamic/static) conditions, capillary and viscous forces, contact angles, grain size distribution, surface tension, boundary conditions, fluid properties, and length scales of observation.…”

“…Providing one-dimensional temperature conditions in laboratory soil columns remains challenging. Prunty and Horton (1994) noted that laboratory studies aimed at one-dimensional temperature conditions (e.g., Nassar and Horton, 1989;Bach, 1992) often demonstrated evidence of ATI. This interference creates a radial temperature distribution, in addition to the axial temperature distribution from imposed boundary conditions, thus altering the coupled processes of heat and water movement within the column.…”

“…Prunty, 1992), unlike the linear or convex distributions frequently reported in the literature (cf. Nassar and Horton, 1989). This concavity comes from the nonlinear distribution of thermal properties associated with water redistribution in response to thermal gradients (Prunty and Horton, 1994).…”

“…water-vapor partial pressure; aqueous-phase density; aqueous-phase viscosity; aqueous phase enthalpy; and osmotic pressure were also incorporated into the solution schemes. Calculation of the osmotic pressure required introduction of an osmotic efficiency coefficient to express the degree to which dissolved salt would be effective in reducing the total pressure (Nassar and Horton, 1989). Calculation of this coefficient required estimation of the water film thickness for different Hanford sediments as a function of pressure head.…”
