ABSTRACT

Wet wind tunnel tests were performed on more than 23 cloud liquid water content (LWC) probes and drop spectrometers at the NASA Icing Research Tunnel, with a main objective to characterize their response to large-droplet conditions. As a part of this study, the LWC and median volume diameter (MVD) reference values of the tunnel were examined, and accuracies were estimated and reported herein. Alternative MVDs were calculated from measurements conducted during the study. MVD ac...

Field swelling, shrinking, and water content change in a heavy clay soil.
Australian Journal of Soil Research ; A note on terminology: what is 'normal'? In this paper we shall be concerned with the swelling and shrinking of soil. Inevitably we shall come across the term 'normal', and this will cause difficulty. 'Normal' shrinkage refers to volume change that is equal to the change in water content. Mitchell
Determination of water content in drying soils: incorporating transition from liquid phase to vapour phase.
Australian Journal of Soil Research ; Introduction In arid and semi-arid regions, evaporative demand is usually greater than the ability of the soil to conduct water in the liquid phase, and the liquid diffusivity becomes less than the vapour diffusivity at low water content (Rose 1963a, 1963b; Jackson 1964a, 1964b, 1964c; Rose 1968;
