ICP=6 Leverett’s function

PreviousICP=4 Milly’s function NextICP=7 van Genuchten function

Leverett’s function (Leverett, 1941; Udell and Fitch, 1985)

Pcap=−P0⋅σ(T)⋅ f(Sl)P_{cap}\quad=\quad-P_0\cdot\sigma(T)\cdot\ f(S_l)Pcap​=−P0​⋅σ(T)⋅ f(Sl​)

with

σ\sigmaσ(T) - surface tension of water (supplied internally in TOUGH4)

f(Sl)=1.417(1−S∗)−2.120(1−S∗)2+1.263(1−S∗)3f(S_l)=1.417 (1 - S^*) - 2.120 (1 - S^*)^2 + 1.263 (1 - S^*)^3f(Sl​)=1.417(1−S∗)−2.120(1−S∗)2+1.263(1−S∗)3

where

S∗=(Sl−Slr)/(1−Slr)S^*=(S_l-S_{lr})/(1-S_{lr})S∗=(Sl​−Slr​)/(1−Slr​)

Parameters: P0P_0P0​= CP(1) SlrS_{lr}Slr​= CP(2)

If CP(3) ≠ 0,

Pcgn=Pcap(=Pcgl)P{cgn}=P_{cap}(=P_{cgl})Pcgn=Pcap​(=Pcgl​)

Pcap(Pcgl）=0P_{cap}(P_{cgl}）=0Pcap​(Pcgl​）=0
