Then we have
constitutive equations and equilibrium restrictions. We use Fourier's law for thermal conductivity. Darcy's law for hydraulic conductivity, then the flow depends on the porosity in degree of saturation. We have Fick's law for vapour diffusion. Then the retention curve, because of the degree of saturation and suction. And then you have mechanical constitutive laws, which consider the effects of strains, section and temperature changes. | ![]() |
