What Is Flow Net Diagram

A flow net is a graphical representation of two-dimensional steady-state groundwater flow through aquifers. Construction of a flow net is often used for solving groundwater flow problems where the geometry makes analytical solutions impractical.

What is flow net principle?

Properties of flow net are as follows: The angle of intersection between each flow line and an equipotential line must be 90o which means they should be orthogonal to each other. Two flow lines or two equipotential lines can never cross each other. quantity of seepage occurs in each flow channel.

What is NF and ND?

Nd = number of potential drops Nf = number of flow channels h = total head loss q = total quantity of unit flow.
