Revisiting Salvucci’s Semi-analytical Solution for Bare Soil Evaporation with New Consideration of Vapour Diffusion and Film Flow (2023)
Journal Article
Mathias, S. A., Sander, G. C., Leung, J., & Newall, S. R. (2023). Revisiting Salvucci’s Semi-analytical Solution for Bare Soil Evaporation with New Consideration of Vapour Diffusion and Film Flow. Transport in Porous Media, 147(2), 463-493. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11242-023-01917-5

Bare soil evaporation is controlled by a combination of capillary flow, vapour diffusion and film flow. Relevant analytical solutions mostly assume horizontal flow conditions and ignore gravitational effects. Salvucci (1997) provided a rare example o...

A simple, efficient, mass-conservative approach to solving Richards' equation (openRE, v1.0) (2023)
Journal Article
Ireson, A. M., Spiteri, R. J., Clark, M. P., & Mathias, S. A. (2023). A simple, efficient, mass-conservative approach to solving Richards' equation (openRE, v1.0). Geoscientific Model Development, 16(2), 659-677. https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-16-659-2023

A simple numerical solution procedure – namely the method of lines combined with an off-the-shelf ordinary differential equation (ODE) solver – was shown in previous work to provide efficient, mass-conservative solutions to the pressure-head form of...
