24 Hydraulic conductivity Basic assumptions for the determination of the hydraulic conductivity on the micro-scale (Childs & Collis George 1950) pore size distribution is calculable from the SWRC for individual pore fragments the flow law of Hagen-Poiseuille applies since the pore radius is included in Hagen-Poiseuille s law with the power of four the resistance against water flow for a sequence of two pores is dominated by the smaller pore the total hydraulic conductivity is defined by sequences of pores in series

29 Hydraulic conductivity Consideration of Tortuosity T 0 according to Bear (1972) it is feasible to use T 0 = 2/3 as a constant value for saturated condition for unsaturated condition the reduction of saturation has to be taken into account (T 0,unsat = T 0 S)

42 Summary and Conclusion The pore constriction distribution of a soil can be used for the determination of the SWRC for the case of drainage. The definition for the residual water content has to be improved for a determination of the SWRC without empirical input data. Using the flow law of Hagen-Poiseuille it is possible to calculate the hydraulic conductivity for saturated and unsaturated conditions. The procedure offers the possibility for the determination of the pore range distribution forming the base for the determination of the SWRC for imbibition.
