Fig. 11. Schematic illustration of flow domains in a nonaggregated sand for different ranges in volumetric water content, {theta}. For {theta} > 0.15: relatively homogeneous flow with rapid convective solute mixing in water-filled soil pores occurs. For {theta} < 0.15: slow solute mixing primarily by transverse diffusion in water film enveloping the soil particles.
