This paper presents a review of techniques for field measurement of suction, water content, and water hydraulic conductivity
(permeability). Main problems in the use of field tensiometers are addressed and hints on how to improve tensiometer performance
are given. Advantages and limitations of instruments for indirect measurement of suction including electrical conductivity
sensors, thermal conductivity sensors, dielectric permittivity sensors, filter paper, and psychrometer are discussed. Techniques
for water content measurement based on dielectric methods are then presented. These include time and amplitude domain reflectometry
and capacitance. Finally, a brief overview of methods for measurement of water permeability in the field is presented. 相似文献

Integrated Interpretation of Interwell Connectivity Using Injection and Production Fluctuations 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
A method to characterize reservoirs, based on matching temporal fluctuations in injection and production rates, has recently
been developed. The method produces two coefficients for each injector–producer pair; one parameter, λ, quantifies the connectivity and the other, τ, quantifies the fluid storage in the vicinity of the pair. Previous analyses used λ and τ separately to infer the presence of transmissibility barriers and conduits in the reservoir, but several common conditions
could not be easily distinguished. This paper describes how λ and τ can be jointly interpreted to enhance inference about preferential transmissibility trends and barriers. Two different combinations
are useful: one is a plot of log (λ) versus log (τ) for a producer and nearby injectors, and the second is a Lorenz-style flow capacity (F) versus storativity (C) plot. These techniques were tested against the results of a numerical simulator and applied to data from the North Buck
Draw field. Using the simulated data, we find that the F–C plots and the λ–τ plots are capable of identifying whether the connectivity of an injector–producer well pair is through fractures, a high-permeability
layer, multiple-layers or through partially completed wells. Analysis of data from the North Buck Draw field shows a reasonable
correspondence between τ and the tracer breakthrough times. Of two possible geological models for Buck Draw, the F–C and λ–τ plots support the model that has less connectivity in the field. The wells in fluvial deposits show better communication
than those wells in more estuarine-dominated regions. 相似文献

The recent transformation of wetlands into farmland in East Africa is accelerating due to growing food-demand, land shortages, and an increasing unpredictability of climatic conditions for crop production in uplands. However, the conversion of pristine wetlands into sites of production may alter hydrological attributes with negative effects on production potential. Particularly the amount and the dynamics of plant available soil moisture in the rooting zone of crops determine to a large extent the agricultural production potential of wetlands. Various methods exist to assess soil moisture dynamics with Frequency Domain Reflectometry (FDR) being among the most prominent. However, the suitability of FDR sensors for assessing plant available soil moisture has to date not been confirmed for wetland soils in the region. We monitored the seasonal and spatial dynamics of water availability for crop growth in an inland valley wetland of the Kenyan highlands using a FDR sensor which was site-specifically calibrated. Access tubes were installed within different wetland use types and hydrological situations along valley transects and soil properties affecting soil moisture (organic C, texture, and bulk density) were investigated. There was little variation in soil attributes between physical positions in the valley, and also between topsoil and subsoil attributes with the exception of organic C contents. With a root mean squared error of 0.073 m3/m3, the developed calibration function of the FDR sensor allows for reasonably accurate soil moisture prediction for both within-site comparisons and the monitoring of temporal soil moisture variations. Applying the calibration equation to a time series of profile probe readings over a period of one year illustrated not only the temporal variation of soil moisture, but also effects of land use. 相似文献

Although numerous factors influence soil-water content, it is considered a key indicator of rangeland health. This paper investigates the effect of grazing on soil-water content using three treatments within the same soil association. The treatments, simulated holistic planned grazing (SHPG), rest-rotation (RESTROT), and total rest (TREST) applied stocking rates of 36, 6, and 0 animal days/hectare respectively. Soil-water content was measured continuously from 2006 to 2008 using 36 capacitance sensors. Statistical analyses revealed differences in percent volumetric-water content (%VWC) and in all treatments, the SHPG pasture had the highest %VWC. Mixed procedures models indicate strong environmental and treatment effects as explanatory variables for the observed difference in %VWC. Although results of vegetation cover analyses indicated no difference in percent shrub cover in the two production pastures (SHPG and RESTROT), percent litter cover differed in the latter years of this study. It was concluded that in addition to a variety of other factors, management decisions (grazing and rest) can have substantial influence upon soil-water content and that soil-water content can vary substantially as a result of animal impact and the duration of grazing. 相似文献

由于水平油水两相流局部流速及局部相含率沿管径方向存在复杂分布,致使其流量及相含率测量非常困难.本文利用伞集流涡轮流量计、电导传感器、过流式电容传感器构成的生产测井组合仪,在水平油水两相流模拟井中开展了动态实验,分析了流动特性及管子角度倾斜对涡轮流量计及含水率传感器响应特性的影响.根据电容及电导传感器在不同总流量及含水率范围的响应分辨特性,分别采用变系数漂移模型及统计模型预测分相流量,发现变系数漂移模型能够自适应调整模型中的流型参数,且对油水两相分相流量具有较高预测精度. 相似文献

重点介绍了NaC l溶液的电容随着溶液矿化度、测量极板之间的距离以及测量频率的变化规律。结果表明,在直接测量电容的情况下,NaC l溶液的电容随着极板距离的增加按负平方关系减小;随着溶液浓度的增加按平方关系增加;随着频率的增加按负幂指数规律减小。通过和NaC l溶液电阻的对比发现,同样的条件下,电容的变化率比电阻明显,这将有助于地层流体的识别,尤其是目前大量存在的水淹油气层、低阻油气层和薄油层。基于以上结论,提出了第二介电常数的概念,第二介电常数不同于传统介电常数的关键之处在于:第二介电常数是直接测量介质的介电特性,而不是将其置于极板之间进行测量。还指出,在进行交流电测井时,地层的电容信号也同样能反映出地层及其孔隙流体的特征,在此基础上提出了电容率法测井的想法,即在测量地层电阻率的同时,还要进行电容率的测量,来反映地层及其孔隙流体电容率的信息。此外,还提出了两电极法进行地面电容率勘探的设想,这种方法不仅能够用于找油找气,还可以探测金属矿藏。 相似文献

Liquid water in snowpacks rules wet snow avalanche formation, surface albedo and snowmelt runoff timing. By now, volumetric liquid water content (LWC) measurements are collected mainly with destructive methods, while continuous-time and non-invasive measurements would be preferable to track its time dynamics. Here, we assess the feasibility of continuous-time monitoring of LWC using EnviroSMART® capacitance sensors. These were conceived to track liquid water dynamics in soils, and their use in snow is evaluated here for the first time, as far as we know. A field case study was settled up in April 2013 within an Italian Alpine valley. An instrumental set up with eight capacitance sensors was installed. Two time-domain reflectrometers were added to the aim of comparison. To assist in interpreting the signal of the capacitance sensors, two laboratory tests were run, and a FEM model was implemented. This preliminary study demonstrates that capacitance sensors are sensitive to increasing LWC, although their long-term installation in snow entails the development of an air gap around them, due to localized melting, air turbulence and solar radiation absorption, which hinders following LWC variations. As a result, capacitance sensors readings are challenging to be interpreted quantitatively. Perspectives on future investigation are discussed to bring the proposed procedure towards long-term applications in snowpacks. 相似文献
