Variably Saturated Flow

Variably Saturated Flow is a hydrological flow process in which the degree of pore-space saturation with water varies spatially and temporally within a porous medium, distinguishing it from fully saturated or completely unsaturated flow regimes by explicitly accounting for dynamic transitions between saturated and unsaturated zones.
