How to Determine Hydraulic Parameters from a Flow Net? | Soil Engineering

Flow net is used to determine various hydraulic parameters needed for the stability analysis of hydraulic structures, as shown in the following subsections. 1. Determination of Discharge: The space between the two successive flow lines is known as a flow channel. The discharge is given by – q = KH Nf/Nd …(10.27) where k is the coefficient of permeability, H [...]
