| The finite element mesh is very important in a numerical simulation.
A finer finite element mesh commonly gives better calculation
results. It has always been a question: what is the resolution of the
finite element mesh that provides reasonably accurate results?
This article does not answer the question specifically but will
provide a sense of the relation between: i) finite element mesh; ii) hydraulic conductivity of the material; and iii) simulation results. A simple model was created to study these relationships. This example helps all modelers to be aware of this issue. When running this model, the “auto mesh refinement” function in SVFLUX was turned off. The model is made up of a rectangular region containing a sandy loam which has a width of 200 m and a height of 100m. The sandy loam has a saturated volumetric water content of 0.3 and a specific gravity of 2.65. The boundary conditions of the model are shown in the figure below.

We will be attending and exhibiting at the GeoHazards 2008
conference in May. This conference is being held in Quebec City from the 20th to the 24th.  We will be exhibiting and and attending the the 61st
Canadian Geotechnical Conference and the 9th Joint CGS/IAH-CNC
Groundwater Conference. This event is set to be held from the 21st
to the 24th of September.  To find out more about the conferences SoilVision Systems is planning to attend, click here. |
