    This document outlines an assignment for a numerical methods course involving the finite difference method (FDM) for steady state seepage problems. It includes 3 questions - the first asks to develop the 2D steady state flow equation for non-uniform, anisotropic soils and variable grid spacing. The second asks to use FDM to calculate head distribution below a dam and cutoff wall, assuming uniform, isotropic soil. The third modifies the second by assuming isotropic soils but with different conductivities for each soil layer. The assignment is due on November 18, 2016.

    Assignment 2
    Steady State Seepage (FDM)
    Due Date: November 18, 2016

    Question 1
    Develop the 2D steady-state flow equation for a problem with non-uniform, non-isotropic soil and a
    variable spacing of the grid (i.e. Δx and Δy are not constant).

    Question 2
    Using the Finite Difference Method, calculate the hydraulic head distribution at steady state below the
    dam and cut-off wall shown below. Assume a uniform soil with an isotropic hydraulic conductivity.

    Question 3
    Using the Finite Difference Method, calculate the hydraulic head distribution below the dam and cut-
    off wall shown below. Assume isotropic soils. The hydraulic conductivity of Soil 1 and Soil 3 is
    0.005 m/s. The hydraulic Conductivity of Soil 2 is 0.001 m/s.
