Soil-Water Transport ModelingAnalyses of water transport in the unsaturated zone are complicated by extreme nonlinearity and a multiplicity of transport processes. A physically general and numerically robust model is needed. Such a model was developed (Milly, 1982, abstract, paper), with allowance for forcing by atmospheric observations (Milly, 1984b) and without the problem of mass non-conservation that had plagued standard numerical approaches (Milly, 1985b). The latter achievement permitted long-term simulations of relevance to issues of water balance. The numerical model has been requested by researchers from M.I.T., Princeton U., U. Texas, U. Florida, Boston U., Colorado St. U., North Dakota St. U., U.S. Army, Sandia Natl. Lab., Woods Hole Marine Biol. Lab., CSIRO (Australia), U. Guelph (Canada), U. Newcastle (UK), U. Newcastle (Australia), Politecnico di Milano (Italy), Seikei U. (Japan), Northwest Agricultural U. (China). |
