Transport Properties

General transport properties

• Long. disp. (alpha-L): Longitudinal dispersivity, [L].
• Trans. disp. (alpha-T): Transverse dispersivity, [L].
• Heat capacity (dry) (Cs): Heat capacity of dry solids, [Q/L^{3 o}C], where Q is energy or ML²T^-2. For SI units, heat capacities are in J/m^{3 o}C.
• Kt(RMC): Thermal conductivity of water-sediment at residual moisture content, [Q/LT^oC]. For SI units thermal conductivities are in W/m^oC.
• Kt(saturated or Por): Thermal conductivity of water-sediment at full saturation, [Q/LT^oC].
• Heat capacity(water) (Cw): Heat capacity of water, which is the product of density times specific heat of water, [Q/L^{3 o}C].
