| description | "Volume fraction" is used in the construction "volume_fraction_of_X_in_Y", where X is a material constituent of Y. It is evaluated as the volume of X divided by the volume of Y (including X). It may be expressed as a fraction, a percentage, or any other dimensionless representation of a fraction. The phrase "condensed_water" means liquid and ice. The field capacity of soil is the maximum content of water it can retain against gravitational drainage. |
