This paper presents a one-dimensional model of bulk flow in a combined micropore/macropore system, which has been developed as a result of the experimental work described in Part I. The problems posed by the presence of macropores to model development and validation are discussed and one exploratory model formulation is described. The results of several simulations are presented and used to demonstrate the effect of macropores on infiltration rates in soils of different hydraulic conductivity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
