<p>The research focused on the simulation of the previous experiment described by Princ et al. (2020). The relationship between entrapped air content (<em>ω</em>) and the corresponding satiated hydraulic conductivity (<em>K</em>) was investigated for two coarse sands, in the experiment. Additionally the amount and distribution of air bubbles were quantified by X-ray computed tomography.</p><p>The pore-network model based on OpenPNM platform (Gostick et al. 2016) was used to attempt simulation of a redistribution of the air bubbles after infiltration. Satiated hydraulic conductivity was determined to obtain the <em>K</em>(<em>ω</em>) relationship. The results from pore-network model were compared with the results from experiments.</p><p>Gostick et al. (2016). Computing in Science & Engineering. 18(4), p60-74.</p><p>Princ et al. (2020).
