Unsaturated seepage flow from a horizontal boundary

Free-Boundary Seepage from Asymmetric Soil Channels

We present an inverse method for the study of the seepage from soil channels without lining. We give integral representations of the complex potential, velocity field, stream lines, free phreatic lines, and contour of the channel by means of Levi-Civitá’s function ω. For different values of the Taylor coefficients of ω, we calculate numerically the contour of the channel, the phreatic lines, th...

Free boundary seepage from open earthen channels

We present in this paper a new inverse method for the study of the seepage from symmetrical earthen open channels. We map the half-strip from the complex potential domain onto the unit half-disk from an auxiliary ζ plane. We introduce Levi-Civitá’s function whose imaginary part vanishes on the diameter [−1, 1] of the half-disk by virtue of the boundary conditions imposed on the free lines. Then...

Numerical Simulation of Coalbed Methane Seepage in Pinnate Horizontal Well Based on Multi-Flow Coupling Model

Abstract: The motive of the study is to establish a seepage flow model of pinnate horizontal well in infinite reservoir according to the characteristics of 3D distribution of CBM pinnate horizontal well. Taking flow pressure drop along the main and branch boreholes into consideration, the fluid flow formulas of CBM pinnate horizontal well are proposed. The corresponding calculation program has ...

Groundwater recharge simulation using a coupled saturated-unsaturated flow model

Abstract The coupled MODFLOW-HYDRUS software package was used to produce a saturated-unsaturated flow model for a Flood Spreading System (FSS) and its associated aquifer. The study aim to improve simulations of near-surface hydrological processes, including temporal and spatial variation in groundwater recharge rates. The coupled model was built with average RMSE=1.1 and 1.3 for calibration ...
