Flow Nets
“Square”
Ideally, the “cells” in the flow net should be “square”
Flow Net Example
Flow lines are to upstream ground surfaceFlow lines are to face of toe filter faces
Equipotential lines are to impervious boundariesFlow lines are to equipotential lines everywhere“Cells in the flow net are “square” everywhere
