Analogy of Water Flow in Soil with the Heat Flow by Conduction Applied to the Sizing of Permeable Pavements

摘要

Strategies for rainwater infiltration play an important role in the sustainability of cities, contributing to the reduction of runoff due to increased sealing surfaces.The sizing of rainwater infiltration systems in the ground has been done considering the constant effluent flow over time due to the complexity of the flow, for which the study is partially based upon.Very often this leads to over-sizing of these systems.Therefore, this study proposes a method based on the analogy of the runoff into the soil with the heat flow by conduction in solid media for the sizing of permeable pavements.
