Abstract

The invention relates to model parameter solution methods, particularly to a method for obtaining Van Genchten model parameters of a soil moisture characteristic curve. The method aims at solving the problems that measuring instruments are expensive and the measurement period is long when a soil moisture characteristic curve Van Genchten equation is obtained by an actual measurement method. The method comprises the following steps of sieving a dried soil sample through a 2mm sieve and dividing the dried soil sample into five equal parts; measuring the field moisture capacity theta fc, the capillary moisture capacity theta mc, the soil moisture suction hmc which is corresponding to the soil capillary moisture capacity, the residual moisture content theta r and the soil moisture suction hfc which is corresponding to the field moisture capacity through the five equal parts respectively; obtaining the parameter m according to the formula; obtaining the parameter alpha according to the formula; obtaining the parameter n according to the formula to achieve the obtaining of the Van Genchten model parameters.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for solving model parameters and belongs to the field of soil characteristic research. Background technique [0002] The soil water matrix potential or soil water suction varies with the soil water content, and its relationship curve is called the soil moisture characteristic curve. The abscissa indicates the soil water matrix potential or soil water suction, and the ordinate indicates the soil water content. The characteristic curve of soil moisture reflects the relationship between the energy and quantity of soil water. It is involved in the study of soil moisture retention and movement and reflects the basic properties of soil moisture. It has important practical value. First of all, the soil moisture characteristic curve can be used to convert between soil matric potential or soil water suction and water content, so it can reflect the amount of water that soil can hold or release in different ranges of matric poten...
