Title:
Implementations and Interpretations of the Talbot-Ogden Infiltration Model
Abstract:
The interaction between surface and subsurface hydrology flow systems is
important for water supplies. Accurate, efficient numerical models are needed
to estimate the movement of water through unsaturated soil. Water
infilitration from the surface to the groundwater level is usually simulated
using a model based on either Richards equation or a reservoir model. In this
talk we present a model derived from Darcy's law known as the Talbot-Ogden
(T-O) model. Instead of one of the usual 3D models, we have a depth versus
water content based on porosity domain. We report on very fast
implementations.
