Understanding flow within the vadose zone is often challenging due to complex processes and interactions occurring near the ground surface given vegetation and climatic conditions. This information is often required to obtain climate‐controlled pore pressures on natural slopes for stability analyses, to design soil covers for mine or municipal wastes, and to determine net infiltration and transpiration from agricultural land. To do so, coupled water, vapor, and heat transport is required. checkfile
