Abstract
A dynamic simulation model of nonsteady isothermal evaporation under cyclic evaporativity was used to evaluate the possible influence of the hysteresis phenomenon on the rate and cumulative amount of moisture loss and on the distribution of moisture in the soil surface zone. The results support the hypothesis that the hysteresis effect can cause an appreciable reduction of evaporation in comparison with the nonhysteretic condition.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
