In alpine areas, the snow cover plays an important role as a water reservoir. Water is stored as snow over the winter and released in spring, recharging mountain aquifers through infiltration. These aquifers are essential, especially for supplying water fo ...
The Aosta plain like any intra-ridge alluvial valley, is it hydrogeological system where a multilayer detritic aquifer is recharged by several subwatersheds. In such valleys the preservation of the chemical (mass transfert) and hydraulic (pressure transfer ...
By implementing the moisture-based form of Richards' equation into the geochemical modelling framework PHREEQC, a generic tool for the simulation of one-dimensional flow and solute transport in the vadose zone undergoing complex geochemical reactions was d ...
The frequent use of earth materials for hydraulic capping and waste containment requires improved understanding of relationships between soil mechanical dynamics and its hydraulic and transport properties. We study deformation of pores embedded in viscopla ...
Besides the so-called conventional features of behaviour of unsaturated soils, in-situ analyses evidence complex constraining and confining conditions for media submitted to wetting drying cycles. In an effort to simulate the hydro-mechanical coupling effe ...
Hydroelectric power plants are known for their ability to cover variations of the consumption in electrical power networks. In order to follow this changing demand, hydraulic machines are subject to off-design operation. In that case, the swirling flow lea ...

Water flow between porous grains varies widely depending on the water distribution in contacts between grains. The hydraulic behavior of contacts varies from highly conductive when water fills the contacts to a bottleneck to flow as water pressure drops an ...
The objective of this study is to investigate the modelling of porosity and hydraulic conductivity changes in saturated porous media induced by the biological growth in pore space. Three different relationships between porosity changes and hydraulic conduc ...
An introduction to the constitutive modelling of unsaturated soils is presented. To facilitate understanding by the inexperienced reader, the paper considers the basic aspects of modelling of the behaviour of unsaturated soils from a qualitative point of v ...
We attempt to generate new solutions for the moisture content form of the one-dimensional Richards' [1931] equation using the Lisle [1992] equivalence mapping. This mapping is used as no more general set of transformations exists for mapping the one-dimens ...
