Theoretical Relationship between Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity and Air Permeability under Dry Conditions: Continuum Percolation Theory

The saturated hydraulic conductivity, Ks, is a fundamental characteristic of subsurface flow and the hydrologic cycle. However, direct measurement of Ks is time consuming. Recently, air permeability measurements at 50 and 100 cm of H2O tension, a relatively dry condition in coarse and medium‐texture...
