Question
Determine the actual seepage velocity of flow at point C, length of flow path in square containing C is 2m, e=0.6
Expert Solution
Step 1
Given:
Length of square, Ls = 2 m
Void ratio, e = 0.6
Permeability constant, k = 0.005 cm/min
From the given flownet,
The number of flow channels in the given flownet, Nf = 6
The number of equipotential drops in the given flownet, Nd = 12
Step 2
The total head on the upstream side (Hu) is calculated as,
The total head on the downstream side (Hd) is calculated as,
The total head loss (HL) is given by,
So, the total head loss will be calculated as,
