GGU-2D-SSFLOW: System description (Example 2)
An analysis of a vertical-plane system is demonstrated below using a practical example. An embankment with the given dimensions will be investigated:
Figure 2 Example of a vertical-plane system
The following permeability data are given:
Sand: k = 10-4 m/s
Clay: k = 10-7 m/s
Drainage: k = 10-2 m/s
The pondage on the water side of the embankment is at 20 m AD. A drainage system is installed on the air side, draining to 15 m AD. The phreatic line and the volume of water percolating through the embankment will be determined for this system.
