any plane passed through a soil (or at the surface of the soil)
can be calculated in addition to air pressures.
Air flow numerical analyses can be performed in terms of
either gauge pressures or absolute pressures when steady-
state conditions are being analyzed. Numerical analyses
should be performed in terms of absolute pressures when
transient or unsteady-state conditions are being analyzed.
Convection air flow problems can also be coupled with
either heat flow or water flow. It is possible for there to
also be coupling with stress-deformation soil behavior as
is required in the study of long-term storage of radioac-
tive materials. These types of analyses are considered to be
beyond the scope of this topic.
