3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What are the two main types of lines found in a flow net?
Think about what each line represents.
Can flow lines intersect in a flow net?
Consider the implications of intersection on flow direction.
What do flow lines indicate in a flow net?
Think about the movement of water.
Is it true that two equipotential lines can intersect?
Reflect on what equal head means in terms of water flow.
Analyze a flow net scenario where water flows through a rectangular field with a head drop of 8 m over 4 flow channels. If the permeability is 3 m/day, calculate the total flow rate and explain your steps.
Break it down step-by-step.
Create a flow net for a seepage problem in a dam structure. List the equipotential lines and flow lines, and calculate the hydraulic gradient given a total head drop of 15 m across a distance of 30 m.
Sketch the net first, paying close attention to spacing and alignment.
