Abstract:This study aims to identify the water flux in an earth dam using heat flux due to convection. Sixteen earth dams model was constructed in a hydraulic flume by varyinggeometrical and flow input parameters to identify heat and water flux.Homogeneous as well was earth dam with the clay core was built-in a hydraulic flume. Temperature measurements were doneto calculate heat flux in the experimental model. A finite element model of the earth dam using Seep/w was developed to obtain water flux,while temp/wwas to obt… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
