Characterization of Flow under Impervious Dams: Dimensionless Groups and Universal Solutions

As far as we know, no dimensionless solutions for infiltrated flow under dams in anisotropic media exist since those that can be found manuals refer to isotropic soils. The novelty of this work is the presentation universal form abaci water flow, average exit gradient, uplift force, and its application point type soil. These are obtained by discriminated nondimensionalization technique governing equations order find accurate groups control results problem. In particular, ratio permeabilities corrected a geometrical aspect relationship appears group, so anisotropy considered input information. way, sought function emerging groups. Numerical used successfully verify obtained, which turn compared other authors scenarios.
