摘要

Soil hydraulic properties relating saturation, water pressure, and hydraulic conductivity are knownnto exhibit hysteresis. In this paper, we focus on the determination of the water retention curve forna porous medium through a novel pore-scale simulation technique that is based on mathematicalnmorphology. We develop an algorithm that allows for the representation of three-dimensionalnrandomly packed porous media of any geometry (i.e. not restricted to idealized geometriesnsuch as spherical or ellipsoidal particles/pore space) so that the connectivity-, tortuosity-, andnhysteresis-causing mechanisms are represented in both drainage and wetting processes, and theirnrole in determining macroscopic fluid behavior is made explicit. Using this method, we presentnsimulation results that demonstrate hysteretic behavior of wetting and non-wetting phases duringnboth drainage and wetting cycles. A new method for computing interfacial surface areas isndeveloped. The pore-morphology-based method is critically evaluated for accuracy, sample sizeneffects, and resolution effects. It is found that the method computes interfacial areas morenaccurately than existing methods and allows for (i) examination of relationships between waternpressure, saturation and interfacial area for hysteretic soils, and (ii) comparisons with previouslyndeveloped theoretical models of soil hydraulic properties. The pore-morphology-based methodnshows promise for applications in vadose zone hydrology.
