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 “\Datafiles2D\Fluid” and “\Datafiles32D\Fluid” directories.

• Unsteady Groundwater Flow in a Confined Layer (FLAC2D)
• One-Dimensional Filling of a Porous Region (FLAC2D)
• Steady-State Fluid Flow with a Free Surface (FLAC2D)
• One-Dimensional Consolidation (FLAC2D)
• Consolidation Settlement at the Center of a Strip Load (FLAC2D)
• Pressuremeter Test (FLAC2D)
• Semi-confined Aquifer (FLAC2D)
