A survey of tourist operator attitudes to renewable energy supply in Queensland, Australia (2007)

Dalton, G.J., Lockington, D.A., Baldock, T.E.

The results of a survey describing the attitude to renewable energy supply (RES) amongst tourism accommodation providers in Queensland, Australia, are presented. A 65% response rate was achieved....

Note on Barenblatt power series solution to Boussinesq equation (2007)

Song, Z.Y., Li, L., Lockington, D.A.

To the self-similar analytical solution of the Boussinesq equation of groundwater flow in a semi-infinite porous medium, when the hydraulic head at the boundary behaved like a power of time,...

Analytical approximations for flow in compressible, saturated, one-dimensional porous media (2007)

Barry, D.A., Lockington, D.A., Jeng, D.S., Parlange, J.Y., Li, L., Stagnitti, F.

A nonlinear model for single-phase fluid flow in slightly compressible porous media is presented and solved approximately. The model assumes state equations for density, porosity, viscosity and...

Modelling tidal signals enhanced by a submarine spring in a coastal confined aquifer extending under the sea (2007)

Li, H.L., Li, L., Lockington, D.A., Boufadel, M.C., Li, G.Y.

Submarine springs discharge offshore groundwater from confined aquifers extending under the sea. The effects of these springs on the propagation of tidal oscillations in coastal confined aquifers are...

Similarity solution of axisymmetric flow in porous media (2006)

Li, L., Lockington, D.A., Parlange, M.B., Stagnitti, F., Selker, J.S., ...

Applications of the axisymmetric Boussinesq equation to groundwater hydrology and reservoir engineering have long been recognised. An archetypal example is invasion by drilling fluid into a permeable...

Artificial pumping errors in the Kool-Parker scaling model of soil moisture hysteresis (2006)

Werner, A. D., Lockington, D. A.

Hysteresis models that eliminate the artificial pumping errors associated with the Kool-Parker (KP) soil moisture hysteresis model, such as the Parker-Lenhard (PL) method, can be computationally...

Similarity solution of axisymmetric flow in porous media (2005)

Li, L., Lockington, D. A., Parlange, M. B., Stagnitti, F., Jeng, D. S., Selker, J., ...

Applications of the axisymmetric Boussinesq equation to groundwater hydrology and reservoir engineering have long been recognised. An archetypal example is invasion by drilling fluid into a permeable...

Steepness expansion for free surface flows in coastal aquifers (2005)

Jeng, D. S., Seymour, B. R., Barry, D. A., Parlange, J. Y., Lockington, D. A., Li, L.

Free surface flow of groundwater in aquifers has been studied since the early 1960s. Previous investigations have been based on the Boussinesq equation, derived from the non-linear kinematic boundary...

Aeration for plant root respiration in a tidal marsh (2005)

Li, H. L., Li, L., Lockington, D. A.

This paper investigates the tidal effects on aeration conditions for plant root respiration in a tidal marsh. We extend the work of Ursino et al. ( 2004) by using a two-phase model for air and water...

A new equation for macroscopic description of capillary rise in porous media (2004)

Lockington, D. A.

Capillary rise in porous media is frequently modeled using the Washburn equation. Recent accurate measurements of advancing fronts clearly illustrate its failure to describe the phenomenon in the...

Confined-unconfined flow in a horizontal confined aquifer (2003)

Li, Ling, Lockington, D. A., Barry, D. A., Parlange, J. Y., Perrochet, P.

Mixed confined and unconfined groundwater flow occurs in a bounded initially dry aquifer when the hydraulic head at the side boundary suddenly rises above the elevation of the aquifer's top boundary....

Influence of hysteresis on tidal capillary fringe dynamics in a well-sorted sand (2003)

Lockington, D. A., Werner, A. D.

Nielsen and Perrochet [Adv. Water Resour. 23 (2000) 503] presented experimental data for cyclic water movement in the vadose zone above an oscillating watertable. The response of the watertable to...

Anomalous water absorption in porous materials (2003)

Lockington, D. A., Parlange, J. Y.

The absorption of fluid by unsaturated, rigid porous materials may be characterized by the sorptivity. This is a simple parameter to determine and is increasingly being used as a measure of a...

Tidal effects on sea water intrusion in unconfined aquifers (1999)

Ataie-Ashtiani, B., Volker, R. E., Lockington, D. A.

A variable-density groundwater model is used to analyse the effects of tidal fluctuations on sea-water intrusion in an unconfined aquifer. It is shown that the tidal activity forces the sea-water to...

Numerical and experimental study of seepage in unconfined aquifers with a periodic boundary condition (1999)

Ataie-Ashtiani, B., Volker, R. E., Lockington, D. A.

The assessment of groundwater conditions within an unconfined aquifer with a periodic boundary condition is of interest in many hydrological and environmental problems. A two-dimensional numerical...
