General introduction
Objective:
The objective of our work, is the mathematical and numerical modeling of hydrous transfer in a ground close to that of the area of Mnasra by coupling the unsaturated zone with the saturated zone of the basement.
To correctly simulate the hydrous transfer in unstationary mode in a porous environment unsaturated-saturated, we developed a mathematical model based on a single equation of flow being able to be used for the two zones, by regarding the zones unsaturated and saturated as only one continuum and by using the equation with Richards for the two compartments.
The numerical results are compared with experimental data obtained on a physical model consisting of a slab soil of 3 meters in length, 2 meters in height and 5 cm in thickness.

Basic assumptions:
The porous environment is inert, indeformable, homogeneous, isotropic and for which the law of Darcy is valid.
The porous environment is regarded as only one continuum.
The equation used characterizing the transfer of water in the two zones is the Richards type:
In the unsaturated zone:
C = C(h), capillary capacity K = K(h), hydraulic conductivity
We have the traditional equation of Richards:
zhKgraddivthC
In the saturated zone:
, Effective porosity K = Ks, hydraulic conductivity with saturation
We have the equation of diffusivity in the nonlinear case and unstationary :

A numerical solution is obtained by the use of an iterative procedure of the alternating directions implicit finite difference method « A.D.I. ».
It is a method with double sweeping which leads to the resolution of the linear system whose matrices are bands tridiagonales .

The comparison between the numerical and experimental results shows the obvious superiority of the digital model developed with better representing the physical phenomena.
Our unstationary model allows the simulation of the water run-off in the unsaturate-saturated zone. The quality of the results obtained by this model are verified on the one hand, by the weight breakdown which respects the law of conservation of the mass, and on the other hand by the agreement between the calculated curves and those measured at the laboratory.
In prospect, we will apply our model to an area on a large scale.
