DISC Model: Computer software for analyzing tension disc infiltrometer data by parameter estimation
 Entry ID: USDA_ARS_DISC

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: DISC is a computer software package for analyzing Tension Disc Infiltrometer
data by parameter estimation. The software package consists of the simplified
HYDRUS2 computer program, and an interactive graphics-based user interface. The
DISC code numerically solves the Richards' equation for saturated-unsaturated
water flow. Flow occurs in a three-dimensional region exhibiting radial
symmetry about ... View entire text
