3-D image-based numerical computations of snow permeability: links to specific surface area, density, and microstructural anisotropy
We used three-dimensional (3-D) images of snow microstructure to carry out numerical estimations of the full tensor of the intrinsic permeability of snow (<b>K</b>). This study was performed on 35 snow samples, spanning a wide range of seasonal snow types. For several sno...
