Abstract: We monitored vertical profile of soil moisture and groundwater level at the paddy field, which has low permeability, during subsurface irrigation and drainage. For the prediction of soil moisture movement in this paddy field, we made numerical simulation model used spreadsheet Microsoft EXCEL 2010. This model was written in finite difference method (FDM) in steady state. We prepared several sheets to calculate those equations, e.g., potential (=total head), stream function, and so on. Input governing equation into each cells, we solved governing equations. Consequently we found that 1) irrigated water moved to plow layer through filter materials of main drain, 2)groundwater level changed quickly during irrigation and drainage, 3)the numerical model succeeded to represent the measured profile of soil moisture in reasonable.

Spreadsheet Fluid Dynamics
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the experimental data are affected by the interference with the splitter plate only in a limited zone close to the wing root, which is probably due to the presence of a strong cross-flow in the inboard direction, typical of forward-swept wings, that limits the spanwise propagation of the interference effects.

On the hydraulic conductivity of unsaturated soils
TL;DR: In this paper, the relative liquid permeability of mixtures of a liquid and a gas through sands and similar porous media at low Reynolds numbers obeys Darcy's law, and the degree of liquid saturation seems to be a more useful unit of liquid percentage than any other.
