Abstract

The nodal domain integration method is applied to a two‐dimensional unsaturated soil water flow problem where the solution domain is discretized into irregular triangular elements and the state variable is approximated by a spatial linear trial function within each triangular element. The resulting element matrices incorporate the well‐known Galerkin finite element, subdomain, and integrated finite difference numerical statements as special cases of the nodal domain integration numerical statement.
