Models for predicting the seepage velocity and seepage force in a fiber reinforced silty soil

Free-Boundary Seepage from Asymmetric Soil Channels

We present an inverse method for the study of the seepage from soil channels without lining. We give integral representations of the complex potential, velocity field, stream lines, free phreatic lines, and contour of the channel by means of Levi-Civitá’s function ω. For different values of the Taylor coefficients of ω, we calculate numerically the contour of the channel, the phreatic lines, th...

Development and Deployment of an Ultrasonic Groundwater Seepage Meter: A Reliable Way to Measure Groundwater Seepage

Submarine groundwater discharge can significantly influence the near shore transport of chemicals into surface waters. Quantification of the sources and rates of such discharge is critical to development of management strategies. Quantification requires a groundwater seepage meter that provides continuous measurements at high resolutions over an extended period of time. An ultrasonic flow meter...

Seepage in directed acyclic graphs

In the firefighting and the graph searching problems, a contaminate spreads relatively quickly. We introduce a new model, on directed acyclic graphs, in which the contamination spreads slowly. The model was inspired by the efforts to stem the lava flow from the Eldfell volcano in ∗ Partially supported by grants from NSERC. 92 N.E. CLARKE ET AL. Iceland. The contamination starts at a source, onl...

A Discrete Singular Convolution Method for the Seepage Analysis in Porous Media with Irregular Geometry

A novel discrete singular convolution (DSC)  formulation  is  presented for the seepage analysis in irregular geometric porous media. The DSC is a new promising numerical approach which has been recently applied to solve several engineering problems. For a medium with regular geometry, realizing of the DSC for the seepage analysis is straight forward. But DSC implementation for a medium with ir...
