abstract = {We introduce an improved, one-dimensional, non-steady-state
dual-permeability model (MACRO 5.1). The model simulates
water flow and solute transport in the vadose zone of
structured soils by coupling high-conductivity-low porosity
macropore domain to a low-conductivity - high porosity
domain representing the soil matrix. Mass exchange between
the domains is approximated by first-order expressions. The
numerical solutions are briefly described, focusing on the
dual-permeability formulation. The solution method for water
flow in macropores was verified by comparing simulation
results with analytical solutions for a "kinematic wave".
The model was tested against high time-resolution
measurements of water flow and nonreactive (Cl-) solute
transport in transient microlysimeter experiments. The
objective was to test the identifiability of four key model
parameters determining the degree of preferential flow using
the generalized likelihood uncertainty estimation ( GLUE)
procedure. The parameters were chosen either because they
are difficult or impossible to measure directly or because
they were considered sensitive on the basis of earlier
experience with the model. The measurements, indicating
strong preferential flow, were adequately reproduced by the
model simulations overall model efficiency = 0.62). The GLUE
procedure conditioned the saturated matrix hydraulic
conductivity, the macroporosity, and the mass exchange
coefficient diffusion pathlength), indicating that these
parameters would be identifiable in inverse modeling
approaches based on microlysimeter experiments. The
conditioning of the kinematic exponent was poor, which was
attributed primarily to correlation with the macroporosity.},
