Short summary
When rain falls on the ground, most of the water subsequently flows through the soil. The movement of water through the partially wet soil layer is surprisingly complicated. For decades, no mathematical model has been able to capture this process in its entire complexity. Here, we present a model that aims to solve this long-standing problem. In this paper, we show that the model correctly reproduces the transition between diffusion and preferential flow regimes.
