A free boundary problem for fluid flow through porous media
Abstract
This brief note addresses the free boundary problem arising from the steady two-dimensional seepage flow through a rectangular dam. The flow problem consists in finding the free boundary location, and the velocity and pressure fields. The problem solution is obtained by using an approximate model which provides the analytical expression for the free boundary profile. Within the range of validity of the model assumptions, the computational results show agreement with data in literature.
