| Abstract | A theoretical investigation of the one-dimensional drainage of
an initially saturated medium by the effect of gravity to a water table was studied. Approximate solutions were developed describing the accumulated volume of flow per unit cross-sectional area to the water
table as a function of time and measurable soil properties.
The approximate solutions were obtained using an analogy of a
capillary tube and the effect of the pore-size distribution index of porous media. The final solutions were given in an integral form which were numerically integrated. The validity of the theoretical equations were verified by comparison with experimental data obtained by previous investigators |
