An approximate analytical solution of Richards equation with finite boundary
Abstract We apply a series expansion technique to estimate the water content distribution and front position in finite boundary conditions. We derive an approximate analytical solution of the Richards equation (RE) for the horizontal infiltration problem. The solution is suitable for arbitrary hydra...
