Experimental Study of Water Infiltration in Unsaturated Horizontal Sand Columns under Various Air Confinement Conditions

The process of water infiltration into initially dry sand was studied in horizontal sand columns under various airtight conditions. To investigate the interrelations among water inflow behavior, air pressure, air confinement effect, and vent effectiveness in unsaturated porous media experiencing dyn...
