  • Determining contact angle of solutions with varying surface tension on dry and pre-wetted silica sands

    Creator:
    McGinnis, Thomas L.
    Abstract:
    Infiltration of highly concentrated solutions into unsaturated sand is suspected to be affected by the liquid-gas interfacial tension between the resident water and that of the infiltrating solution. The wetting of non-porous solid surfaces by liquids is commonly quantified by contact angle measurements. However, it is well known that wettability...

  • Evaporation from bare soil and soil cracks: a numeric study

    Creator:
    Graham, Christopher Brian
    Abstract:
    Evaporation from bare soil was investigated using a numeric model In one set of simulations, texture and evaporative demand were analyzed as they impacted short and long term evaporation. The effect of these factors on water redistribution was also analyzed. A second set of simulations was run to determine the...

  • Calcium Ion Transport via Seeping Flow Events through Epikarst Microfissures

    Creator:
    Windom, Lisa M.
    Abstract:
    Solute transport models in karst groundwater must consider variable and complex flow regimes. Within fissures less than 2 mm in aperture, during unsaturated flow events, seeping flow may flow as films or under capillary tension as a capillary rivulet. This project focuses on exploring the mass transport characteristics of seeping...

  • Thermodynamic correction for salts in variably saturated porous media

    Creator:
    Burns, Erick R.
    Abstract:
    Using thermodynamic principles, the general relationship describing the equilibrium vapor content in the gas phase above a saline liquid and across a curved liquid-gas interface is developed. Since high salt concentration also affects the intensive and extensive liquid properties, it is also necessary to account for these effects in liquid...
