      Unsaturated flow plays an important role in numerous environmental phenomena. It is complex in arid regions, where liquid water fluxes are small and vapor fluxes become relevant, so that heat, water and solute mass transport ...
    • Dynamics of water vapor flux and water separation processes during evaporation from a salty dry soil 

      Gran Esforzado, Meritxell; Massana, Jordi; Carrera Ramírez, Jesús; Saaltink, Maarten Willem; Olivella Pastallé, Sebastià; Ayora Ibáñez, Carlos; Lloret Morancho, Antonio (Elsevier, 2011-01)

      Evaporation from a salty soil generates salt accumulation near the surface with the subsequent deterioration of the soil quality. Salinization mechanisms are poorly understood despite their global impact. Vapor flux and ...

      Thermal, suction and osmotic gradients interact during evaporation from a salty soil. Vapor fluxes become the main water flow mechanism under very dry conditions. A coupled nonisothermal multiphase flow and a reactive ...
    • Salinity is reduced below the evaporation front during soil salinization

      La salinización de suelos es un problema global. Generalmente, la salinización es causada por el transporte de sales hacia la superficie por capilaridad y, a pesar de su importancia global, los mecanismos que la controlan ...
    • Temperature driven vapor fluxes in soils cause a net recharge

      Temperature gradients can drive vapor diffusion by controlling vapor pressure in the soil. We studied vapor diffusion for soils in two different climates: A semiarid climate at El Cabril (Córdoba, Spain) and a subarctic ...
