Motion of wetting fronts moving into partially pre-wet soil
We study the motion of wetting fronts for vertical infiltration problems as modeled by Richards' equation. Parlange and others have shown that wetting fronts in infiltration flows can be described by traveling wave solutions. If the soil layer is not initially dry, but has an initial distributi...
