TerraPercolatio - Groundwater, flow nets and porewater pressure

I am pleased to announce another package in my suite of applications for civil engineers, TerraPercalatio - A solution for groundwater flow. enter image description here Engineers frequently have to deal with water in the ground, whether it is dealing with water inflow into an excavation, seepage pressures within a slope or designing drainage. TerraPercolatio has been designed for that. It is a general 2D steady-state seepage solver for multi-layer anisotropic materials, both confined and unconfined flow and produces true flow nets from the exact dual (stream-function) problem.

Used for drawing flownets and pwp. diagrams it including examples for most cases an engineer will encounter in practice. For example, a sheeted excavation in multi layered anisotropic soil. enter image description here Hee is a zoned earth dam with a clay core enter image description here An important class of problem is unconfined flow within a slope. here is a simple example that includes recharge through rainfall. enter image description here Suction can be taken into account when calculating porewater pressures. enter image description here Flow to a rectangular excavation. enter image description here Other examples covered include flow to a pumped well and groundwater lowering by wellpoints or drainage trenches. TerraPercolatio[] is freely available as a function in the Wolfram function repository as an installable .paclet . At

If you like this programme or find it useful then you may find my other contributions of interest, they are all free to use, but I would recommend that you satisfy yourself as to their accuracy and suitability for your needs.
