Pore network models for soil-water retention curves.
Description
Stream: Geotechnical, Geomechanics, Fluids, Environmental Type: Computational Description: Soil-water retention curves are used to predict the soil water storage capacity and effective stresses in soil mechanics. In this project, students will develop a simplified numerical model based on pore network mode (PNM) to capture the soil-water retention behaviour. Assumed Knowledge: Soil mechanics, numerical methods
