A Numerical Analysis of the Leakage Characteristics of an Embankment Dam Slope With Internal Erosion

A Numerical Analysis of the Leakage Characteristics of an Embankment Dam Slope With Internal Erosion

Leakage is a common defect of embankment dam slopes, and is usually accompanied by internal erosion. This study establishes a mathematical two-phase seepage coupling model that explicitly considers the effects of internal erosion. With the help of finite element software COMSOL Multiphysics®, we use...
