Abstract:
A numerical model is proposed to simulate the unsteady seepage flow through dam,with both saturation and water head as variables to describe the seepage domain.Experiments of seepage flow through dam with unsteady conditions were conducted in laboratory to verify the reliability and the accuracy of the numerical model.The performance of the model is also assessed by comparing with analytical solutions.The examples show that the accuracy and the reliability of the model are adequate to handle seepage flow pr...
