The Green-Ampt model (GAM) is a widely used infiltration model. However its parameters seem velocity-dependent; moreover, we showed that the effective suction head is ponding-height-related.

We developed a low-cost method for fabricating “soil-on-a-chip” micromodels with 2D and 2.5D pore structures by stacking layers made with a conventional low-cost tabletop CNC router followed by tape bonding. The pore structure was extracted from an X-ray micro-computed tomography scanning image of a medium-grain sandstone sample. The imbibition experiments performed in the 2D and 2.5D micromodels showed the trends of the residual saturation versus capillary number (Ca). The channels showed opposing trends for low-aspect-ratio 2D and high-aspect-ratio 2.5D micromodels. As the channel aspect ratio increased, the location of air entrapment changed from dead-end pores to transport pores. The sizes of trapped air bubbles in the transport pores decreased as the injection flow rates increased.

Highlights

We used the time-lapse ERI surveys to estimate the hydraulic parameters, K and Sy, in two sites.
We found that the hydraulic conductivity at Dajou is much larger than that of Pengtsuo.
The contribution that lateral flow made to the pumping discharge were also estimated with the data.
The fraction of lateral flow contribution is about 70% at the beginning of the pumping test at Dajou.
The fraction of storage yielding took about 100% at the beginning of the pumping at
