Abstract

Using a soil column experiments to analyze the influence of different density of one dimension vertical infiltration of water infiltration rate, cumulative infiltration and wetting front. The experimental results showed that the bulk density of the infiltration rate, cumulative infiltration and wetting front has a significant impact. Infiltration rate, cumulative infiltration and wetting front were decreased with increasing density in the same period of infiltration. The greater the soil bulk capacity, the larger the infiltration decrease ration μ and η, respectively compared to the based accumulative infiltration and the based wetting front depth.
