Water flow

When selecting the "Water flow" analysis regime the program performs the steady state analysis in a soil body. Individual stages of construction are independent from each other.

The program introduces two material models of transition zone for the analysis of problems of unconfined flow, either the Log-linear or the Van Genuchten model. 

The first step in the analysis calls for defining the boundary conditions, either at a point or along a boundary line. Beam and contact elements can be introduced inside the soil body. The analysis results are presented in the form of pore pressure and hydraulic head distributions, velocities and directions of flow and information about the total inflow/outflow in to/out of the soil body.
