Testing of intrinsic sorptivity for liquid infiltration into initially dry, Miller-similar silica sands

The sorptivity (S) of a porous medium quantifies the effect of capillarity and surface forces on liquid infiltration. For infiltration into initially dry soil, S is dependent on three system attributes: the infiltrating liquid properties, the soil properties, and the maximum liquid content behind th...
