A Fractal Model to Interpret Porosity-Dependent Hydraulic Properties for Unsaturated Soils
This paper presents a simple fractal model to quantify the effects of initial porosity on the soil-water retention curve and hydraulic conductivity of unsaturated soils. In the proposed conceptual model, the change of maximum pore radius, which largely determines the change of the air-entry value, i...
