Abstract: Abstract Water movement in soil is much more complicated than that of CO2 because not only is water present in two phases, one liquid and the other gas, but also water movement is related to heat flow. However, in order to simplify the problem and understand the system clearly, it is again assumed that vapor flow in soil is independent of heat flow, as we assumed in the chapter on heat flow analysis. Furthermore, we will focus only on vapor movement in the present chapter, because in most cases water flow is assumed to occur in parallel with water vapor flow and they are combined. This can be condensed into what is the diffusion coefficient for both.
