Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A flow net is needed for a soil layer with well-defined permeable and impermeable boundaries. Construct a flow net sketch, marking equipotential and flow lines accurately.

💡 Hint: Think about the distinct zones of flow and how they interact.

Question 2

Explain how the height of standpipes at different boundaries can dictate the positions of equipotential lines in a flow net.

💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between hydraulic head and water flow.
