Predicting and controlling the liquid dynamics in a porous medium is of large importance in numerous technological and industrial situations. We derive here a general analytical solution for the dynamics of a flat liquid front in a porous medium, considering the combined effects of capillary imbibition, gravity and evaporation. We highlight that the dynamics of the liquid front in the porous medium is controlled by two dimensionless numbers: a gravity-capillary number g and an evaporation-capillary number epsilon. We analyze comprehensively the dynamics of the liquid front as functions of g and epsilon, and show that the liquid front can exhibit seven kinds of dynamics classified in three types of behaviors. For each limiting case, a simplified expression of the general solution is also derived. Finally, estimations of g and epsilon are computed to evidence the most common regimes and corresponding liquid front dynamics encountered in usual applied conditions. This is realized by investigating the influence of the liquid and porous medium properties, as well as of the atmospheric conditions, on the values of the dimensionless numbers.
