This lecture covers the transport phenomena in partially saturated porous media, focusing on sorption and transport in cementitious materials, the vadose zone, relative transport coefficients, and empirical models like the Van Genutchen-Mualem model and the Richards equation. The instructor discusses applications of the Richards equation, such as evaporation and groundwater flow, and concludes with key insights.
