Model Brooks-Corey

To use Equation 6.4, one must measure or calculate hc dr for a given aquifer material. A mathematical formula for the water pressure-saturation curve during drainage is needed to calculate the average water pressure head. The Brooks-Corey model of the drainage curve can be used as follows (Corey, 1986) ... [Pg.184]

The Thomeer model is similar to the Brooks-Corey model. The difference between the two is the definition of the normalized saturation. [Pg.79]

Li (2004) shows that the empirical Brooks-Corey capillary pressure model can theoretically be derived from a fractal model of the porous media, where the pore-size distribution coefficient increases with the decrease of the fractal dimension. [Pg.78]
