v7.32.117 WTNP117 — Capillary rebalancing of a bi-material described by Van-Genuchten Mualem laws

Summary:

The test presented makes it possible to simulate a case of restoration of one material by another, the 2 materials being described by a Mualem Van-Genuchten model. This is a classic BO-BG case that allows us to test the hydraulic law called by HYDR_VGM. It also allows the comparison of several numerical schemes: finite elements and decentralized finite volumes.
