FLAC3D Theory and Background • Fluid-Mechanical Interaction

Verification Examples

Several verification problems that illustrate the fluid-flow modeling capabilities in FLAC3D are presented. The data files for these examples are contained in the “\Datafiles\Fluid” directory.

• Unsteady Groundwater Flow in a Confined Layer
• One-Dimensional Filling of a Porous Region
• Steady-State Fluid Flow with a Free Surface
• Spreading of a Groundwater Mound
• One-Dimensional Consolidation
• Consolidation Settlement at the Center of a Strip Load
• Transient Fluid Flow to a Well in a Shallow Confined Aquifer
• Pressuremeter Test
• Semi-confined Aquifer
