A Dimension-Reduced Line-Element Method to Model Unsaturated Seepage Flow in Porous Media
Contrary to the continuum hypothesis, which averages water flow across the entire domain, including both grains and pores, the line-element model concentrates unsaturated flow in the pore space in the intermediate region of horizontal and vertical channels. The flux equivalent principle is used to d...
