Design of Electrical Analogy Apparatus for Drawing Flownet and Studying Uplift Pressure

Flow of electrical current through a conducting medium is analogous to groundwater flow through a porous medium because both are governed by Laplace equation. This analogy was used in an alternate representational approach in flownet concepts. The report employed the easily demonstrable electrical counterpart to represent the groundwater flow problem in a laboratory setting. This report discusses the flownet principles better by using the electrical analogy for selected groundwater flow situations. However, it was also demonstrated that the electrical analogy concept can be applied for a wide range of groundwater flow situations with a few simple modifications. Our aim is to design a simplest model for determining flow net concept precisely.
