Abstract

Water path through unsaturated media was examined by computer simulation using ‘water path invasion model’.
Simulation showed the effects of angle of contact and water content. Flow rate produced a significant influence on fractal dimension and width of water path for covering infiltration but no influence for concentrated infiltration.
Simulation with a rectangular network made more realistic water path than that with a hexagon network.
