Abstract: | A general mathematical model for investigating simultaneous heat, water and gas (air plus vapor) transfer in unsaturated porous soil under different environmental conditions is presented based on the volume-averaging method. Two-dimensional numerical simulation in steady state is conducted for obtaining accurate images of field characteristics in a confined soil bed, which might be useful to provide necessary information for agricultural applications. Various effects of environmental parameters, such as ambient temperature, relative humidity, radiative heat flux and wind speed, on transport processes in soil without plant roots are analyzed through the calculating results in the present paper.
