Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Analyze a flow net scenario where water flows through a rectangular field with a head drop of 8 m over 4 flow channels. If the permeability is 3 m/day, calculate the total flow rate and explain your steps.
💡 Hint: Break it down step-by-step.
Create a flow net for a seepage problem in a dam structure. List the equipotential lines and flow lines, and calculate the hydraulic gradient given a total head drop of 15 m across a distance of 30 m.
💡 Hint: Sketch the net first, paying close attention to spacing and alignment.
