The Horton equation is one of the popular models used in the characterization of field infiltration. In this study, the least square curve firing technique was employed to estimate the model parameters from fifteen field measured data and gave resultant mean regression coefficients （R2） value of 0.811. Furthermore, plotting the measured against the calculated infiltration rate for the first six （6） measurement points yielded R2 values close to unity in the regression curve indicating a marked relationship between the two. This indicates that the Horton infiltration model can be applied to estimate infiltration characteristics of soils in Samaru, Northern Guinea Savanna of Nigeria.展开更多

Based on Darcy theory and Boit principle, the Reynolds equation and mathematical expression of deformable metal rubber （MR） material under laminar flow are obtained according to the change of porosity of metal rubber. It is shown that the throttle of MR material is dependent on its porosity and diameter of metal wires. It will be of great value for the application of MR in throttle field.展开更多
