Numerical models of fluid flow in porous matrices such as Saltstone and Cast Stone typically use saturated K (Ksat), and a correlation between K and saturation determine the K for calculations of fluid flow and contaminant transport.
The pressure gradient, measured flowrate and sample dimensions are then used to calculate Ksat.
Weighted run-off coefficients for each field unit were obtained using Hydraulic Conductivity (Ksat) and slope, which was calibrated against monitoring data obtained during the 2008 irrigation season.
As the depth of the wetting front increases, the gradient decreases and the infiltration rate approaches the saturated hydraulic conductivity, Ksat.
Saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) was determined on 2 inch molded samples using ASTM (D5084- 10).
A flexible wall permeameter (FWP) was used to measure saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) of unmolded samples 5 cm in diameter and 10 ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ using ASTM (D 5084-10).
In the previous DLM system the pressure applied to the permeant was constant and the flow rate varied based on changes to the sample Ksat.
The SSW data package for the IDF PA (▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2016a) recommended a log-normally distributed probability distribution function (PDF) for Ksat of stabilized SSW.
The rate of infiltration is approximated by the following expression: f (t) = K ⎡ Ho + L + hwf ⎤ (1.5) ⎣ L ⎦ where f(t) = the infiltration rate at time t (L/t), Ksat = saturated hydraulic conductivity (L/t), Ho = depth of water in the pond or infiltration facility (L), L = depth of the wetting front below the bottom of the pond (L), and hwf = average capillary head at the wetting front (L).
