Abstract
A quantitative model of hysteresis is proposed, assuming the pore-water blockage against air entry to be a direct function of the volume of pore domains located in the completely-filled region of the state diagram. The relative volume of the pore-water domains evaluated from the history of the capillary head assuming the domains are independent, is employed in a dependency correction function.
