The Effect of Dynamic Capillarity in Modeling Saturation Overshoot during Infiltration

Gravity-driven fingering has been observed during downward infiltration of water into dry sand. Moreover, the water saturation profile within each finger is non-monotonic, with a saturation overshoot at the finger tip. As reported in the literature, these effects can be simulated by an extended form...
