  3. 7. Adapting the bundle of capillary tubes model (BCTM) for vertical soil solute transport modelling

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildning

    Author : Martin Larsson; [2019]
    Keywords : soil solute vertical transport modelling vadose; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : This study explores an approach for adapting the bundle of capillary tubes soil model for vertical soil solute transport modelling. The soil is split into thin layers allowing vertical water flow between capillaries of differing width with concomitant advective flow of solutes. Diffusion is included to improve realism. READ MORE
