Conductivity Function

 Value

 Meaning

Mualem

The unsaturated conductivity in the matric domain is given by the equations of Mualem, with the Brooks & Corey or the van Genuchten equation as a base. See eqs. (2.26) and (2.28)  

Power of effective saturation

The unsaturated conductivity in the matric domain is given by a simple power function of effective saturation. See eq.(2.30).

Power of relative saturation

The unsaturated conductivity in the matric domain is given by a simple power function of relative saturation. See eq. (2.29).

The parameter values for the conductivity functions are found in the tables: Hydraulic conductivity, measured horizons and Hydraulic conductivity, model boundaries.
