A Theory of Water Percolation in Snow
Abstract A theory is developed to describe the vertical percolation of water in isothermal snow. The general theory of Darcian flow is reviewed to establish a reasonable physical basis for the construction of a model. It is shown that in simple gravity drainage, capillarity is negligible compared wi...
