Experimental and Numerical Studies of Saturation Overshoot during Infiltration into a Dry Soil

Downward infiltration of water into almost dry soil, when there is no ponding at the soil surface, often occurs in the form of fingers, with saturation overshoot at the finger tips. While this is well known, there is still uncertainty about the exact saturation pattern within fingers. We performed a...
