N2  - The bubbling pressure of a porous medium is defined as the capillary  pressure at which the non-wetting fluid is first continuous through  the medium. It is very important soil parameter in characterizing  a partially saturated flow. The purpose of this thesis is to study the  effects of pertinent soil parameters and fluid properties on the bubbling  pressure. A capillary tube model analogy was employed to develop an  equation representing the bubbling pressure as a function of soil  parameters and properties of fluid. The soil parameters being con sidered were porosity, characteristic diameter of soil particle, and a  coefficient which is a function of the pore size distribution index. The  fluid properties were surface tension and specific weight.  Experiments ~'7cre conducted to verify the theoretical equation  and determine tile coefficient. The media \·rnre selected to hav-e wide  ranges of texture, porosity, grain size distrioution and pore size  distribution. The wetting fluid used was distilled water and non wetting fluid was air
