An Improved Method for Quantifying Liquid Saturation Using Transparent Soil

<div>Visualization of the fingering phenomena at the air front through partially saturated transparent soil (9∼10 mm saturated transparent soil was filled into a transparent Perspex column (with the internal cross-sectional area of 50.0 × 50.0 mm<sup>2</sup>) by wet pluviation method, and water profiles were observed at different times during the drainage process: (a) <i>t</i> = 0:0:0, (b) <i>t</i> = 0:33:40, (c) <i>t</i> = 0:38:25, (d) <i>t</i> = 0:42:20, (e) <i>t</i> = 0:51:20, (f) <i>t</i> = 1:26:10, and (g) <i>t</i> = 2:53:50.</div>
