What does an equipotential line represent?
Consider where water levels would be the same.
What do flow nets represent in soil mechanics?
Remember the purpose of mapping water flow.
True or False: A submerged permeable soil boundary is not an equipotential line.
Recall the definitions of equipotential lines.
Create a flow net for a given soil type with specified boundaries. Illustrate how you would represent a submerged permeable boundary.
Begin by sketching the boundary conditions first.
Explain the physical meaning behind the orthogonality of flow lines and equipotential lines. Why is this important?
