Abstract

It is analyzed the wetting front position and derived an approximate analytical solution of Richards' equation (RE) with van Genuchten model, which is usually used to determine the soil and water characteristic curve in porous medium. Based on Boltzmann transformation, a special variable is constructed for RE approximation. In the end, an example is shown to confirm the accuracy of present method.
