FEFLOW Applied to Dams

Are you looking to efficiently calculate fluxes, pore pressure distribution, and hydraulic heads in earth dams while taking into account drains, curtains, different materials, and transient variation of the reservoir level using robust numerical models with mesh flexibility?

Join Dr.Nilson Guiguer from who presented a webinar in partnership with HydroInfo and DHI, and discover how FEFLOW can be used for this type of analysis.

The webinar covered the following topics:

  • Water table elevations and its relation to dam stability;
  • Calculation of fluxes and pore pressures; and
  • Calibration of measured vs. observed levels using FePEST
