Mechanism Analysis of Interactions Between Seepage and Tangential Flow

Abstract:

Based on experimental results and simulations with software Fluent,the interactions between seepage and tangential flow were investigated,and the results of experiments and simulations agreed well.Results show that the flow obviously affects the seepage in the sand soil.For the same tangential flow,the pressure fields and streamlines change with the seepage velocity,and the seepage conductivity increases with the increasing seepage velocity.

Key words:seepage; tangential flow; interaction; mechanism
