Sediment transport
Sediment transport or Soil transport is the movement of solid particles, usually due to the combination of gravitational forces acting on the sediment, and the movement of the liquid at which the sediment enters. Soil erosion occurs in natural systems wh…
Question
Soil Mechanics
A flownet constructed to determine the seepage through an earth dam which is homogeneous but anisotropic, gave four flow channels and sixteen equipotential drops. The coefficients of permeability in the horizontal and vertical directions are 4.0 x 10-7 m/s and 1 x 10-7 m/s respectively. If the storage head was 20 m, then the seepage per unit length of the dam (in m³/s) would be
