Experimental investigation of water distribution in two-phase zone during gravity-dominated evaporation
C. Cejas, J. -C. Castaing, L. A. Hough +2
We characterize the water repartition within the partially saturated (two-phase) zone (PSZ) during evaporation out of mixed wettable porous media by controlling the wettability of…
Characterizing Pixel and Point Patterns with a Hyperuniformity Disorder Length
A. T. Chieco, R. Dreyfus, D. J. Durian
We introduce the concept of a hyperuniformity disorder length that controls the variance of volume fraction fluctuations for randomly placed windows of fixed size. In particular, f…
A Simple Analytical Model of Evaporation in the Presence of Roots
Cesare M. Cejas, Larry Hough, Jean-Christophe Castaing +2
Root systems can influence the dynamics of evapotranspiration of water out of a porous medium. The coupling of evapotranspiration remains a key aspect affecting overall root behavi…
Kinetics of Gravity-Driven Water Channels Under Steady Rainfall
Cesare M. Cejas, Yuli Wei, Remi Barrois +3
We investigate the formation of fingered flow in dry granular media under simulated rainfall using a quasi-2D experimental set-up composed of a random close packing of mono-dispers…
Morphology of rain water channelization in systematically varied model sandy soils
Y. Wei, C. M. Cejas, R. Barrois +2
We visualize the formation of fingered flow in dry model sandy soils under different raining conditions using a quasi-2d experimental set-up, and systematically determine the impac…
