| Dam Liner Failure |

postprocessor |

postprocessor |
Determination of gradients produced by a failure of the upstream liner system in an earth dam.
Model setup time: 4 hours |
| Dam Design |

preprocessor |

postprocessor |
Determination
of water pressures and flow gradients through an earth dam in a
valley. This problem also illustrates the ability of SVFlux to
pinch out intersecting layers at the edges of the earth dam.
Model setup time: 19 minutes
Solution time: 6 minutes 43 seconds on PIII-1.0 GHz
Nodes: 6999 |
| Earth Fill Dam |

preprocessor |

postprocessor |
Determination
of water pressures in a simple earth dam.
Model setup time: 22 minutes
Solution time: 7 seconds on PIII-1.0 GHz
Nodes: 2023 |
| Example Dam |

preprocessor |

postprocessor |
Determination
of water pressures water table location in an earth dam feature.
Model setup time: 19 minutes
Solution time: 7 minutes 30 seconds on PIII-1.0 GHz

| Mica Earth Dam 3D |

|
| This is an example of modeling the core of the Mica earth dam in 3D. The layers outside the core and the bedrock are not represented in the model because they are several orders of magnitude more conductive and therefore they don't influence model results. |
