1. Performance evaluation of different soil water retention functions for modeling of water flow under transient condition
ABSTRACT ABSTRACT: Description and prediction of water flow through unsaturated soils is necessary to understand their hydraulic properties, including soil water retention curve (SWRC). Many models have been developed for estimation of SWRC and many researchers compared water retention curve derived from these models with the measured values. In this paper,

2. Modelagem computacional de escoamentos de fluidos em solos não saturados / Computational modeling of fluid flow in unsaturated soils.
O movimento da água em solos não saturados (zona vadosa) pode ser descrito pela equação de Richards, obtida pela combinação da equação de conservação de massa e da lei de Darcy-Buckingham. Usualmente essa equação é representada sob três formas básicas: h - baseada na carga de pressão, θ - baseada na umidade volumétrica e mista - baseada

3. Scaling to generalize a single solution of Richards' equation for soil water redistribution
Using scaling methods, a single solution of Richards' equation (RE) will suffice for numerous specific cases of water flow in unsaturated soils. In this study, a new method is developed to scale RE for the soil water redistribution process. Two similarity conditions are required: similarity in the shape of the soil water content profiles as well as of the wa

4. Numerical modeling of actual evapotranspiration of a coffee crop
The evapotranspiration estimation has great importance to crop productivity and agricultural water management. In this study, evapotranspiration is analyzed in a coffee (Coffea arabica L.) crop located in Piracicaba, state of São Paulo (Brazil) using a numerical method based on the simulation of both water flow and crop activity in the unsaturated zone of t

5. InfluÃncia da sucÃÃo mÃtrica nas condiÃÃes de fluxo e estabilidade de taludes da barragem pesqueiro / Influence of matrice suction on flow and slope stability conditions of the pesqueiro dam
A importÃncia do comportamento de solos nÃo saturados tem sido reconhecida no Ãmbito da mecÃnica dos solos, de forma que, nas Ãltimas dÃcadas a geotecnia tem evoluÃdo muito no sentido de compreender-se o comportamento dos solos com o objetivo de melhoria e aperfeiÃoamento dos projetos de engenharia. Uma das particularidades dos solos nÃo saturados c

6. NUMERICAL MODELLING OF INFILTRATION OF HYDROCARBONS IN UNSATURATED SOILS USING THE FINITE VOLUME METHOD / MODELAGEM NUMÉRICA DA INFILTRAÇÃO DE HIDROCARBONETOS EM SOLOS NÃO SATURADOS UTILIZANDO O MÉTODO DE VOLUMES FINITOS
A large proportion of the population depends on groundwater for consumption. Thus, leakage of gasoline tanks represents a significant risk to public health besides the risk of fire and explosion in the sewer lines, due to the flammable gases. These tanks are generally located in the unsaturad soil above the groundwater level. It is therefore important to eva

7. Fuzzy logic applied to the modeling of the transfer of water in soils / LÃgica fuzzy aplicada à modelagem da transferÃncia de Ãgua em solos
Modeling water movement in the unsaturated soil requires a great number of parameters and variables such as the initial soil-water content, the saturated soil-water content, and the saturated hydraulic conductivity, which can relatively easily be assessed. Other functions such as hydraulic conductivity and matric potential which are nonlinear functions of th

8. ANÁLISE DA INFLUÊNCIA DE BARREIRAS HIDRÁULICAS NO PADRÃO DO FLUXO E NA ESTABILIDADE DE TALUDES DE CAVAS A CÉU ABERTO DE MINAS DE FERRO DO QUADRILÁTERO FERRÍFERO, M.G
Less permeable layers, dikes and even discontinuities may act as hydraulic barriers, interfering in the pattern of flow, with dangerous consequences in the stability of the mining slopes. This work intends to analyze the possible influences caused by the phyllites of the Batatal formation, acting as hydraulic barriers, in the flow pattern as well as in the s

9. Geotechnical site characterization and study of an erosion process caused by urban setting / Investigação geotécnica e estudo de um processo erosivo causado por ocupação urbana
This dissertation presents geotechnical site characterization results of an erosion process area, in Bauru city, inland of São Paulo State, Brazil. The objective is to characterize the local soil and define the major causing factors for the erosion process evolution, which initiated with deforestation, soil sealing and discharge of pluvial and sewer water.

10. Simulação de fluxo de água e transporte de solutos na zona não-saturada do solo pelo método de elementos finitos adaptativo / Simulation of water flow and solute transport in the unsaturated zone of the soil by adaptative finite element method
Devido aos riscos de contaminação dos recursos naturais solo e água, ao alto custo, ao tempo e ao esforço humano nas investigações de campo, os modelos matemáticos, aliados às técnicas numéricas e aos avanços computacionais, constituem uma ferramenta importante na previsão do deslocamento de solutos, contribuindo assim, para o controle de altera�

In applications of the SEBAL (Surface Energy Balance Algorithm for Land) algorithm parameters for physical processes adjusted for other regions of the planet are commonly used. Therefore, there is a need for validation of the estimates made with the algorithm compared with other conventional methods of estimating evapotranspiration. Thus, this study main goa

12. NUMERICAL MODELING OF VIRUS TRANSPORT IN FRACTURED-POROUS MEDIA / MODELAGEM NUMÉRICA DO TRANSPORTE DE VÍRUS EM AQÜÍFEROS FRATURADOS - POROSOS
Setback distances of wellhead and catchments from septic tanks are establised by three aproaches: methods based on fixed setback distances or fixed travel times; methods based on vulnerability analysis and methods based on infection risk. In Costa Rica, the determination of setback distances is based on fixed travel times. This approach considers that during
