Analytical Construction of Transient Flow Nets in Homogeneous and Isotropic Flow Medium

The purpose of this study is to construct time-dependent flow nets, also called transient flow nets in homogenous and isotropic flow medium. Transient flow nets under hydraulic structures are developed in response to reservoir head fluctuations. An analytical solution for a transient flow net has not been reported in the literature. Time-dependent flow net equations are limited in engineering applications to simple boundary conditions. The geometry of transient flow nets does not change with time, as only the numerical values assigned to equipotential lines and flow lines change with time.
