Clogging of toe drain drastically affects phreatic seepage in earth dams
In aged levees, toe (blanket) drains get clogged with time due to seepage-induced suffusion and translocation of fine soil fractions from the upstream to the downstream part of the embankment. These particles deposit on the top of the drain (usually, Terzhagi's graded gravel) as a cake. Also, high hydraulic gradients in the vicinity of the drain move the fine particles into the body of the coarse filter material such that “internal colmation” takes place. In this paper 2-D seepage to a clogged drain is studied experimentally, analytically and numerically. In a sandbox, we illustrate the difference in the position of a phreatic surface and the seepage flow rate between an equipotential toe drain and a clogged one. In the analytical solution, a potential flow model is used and the Neumann (Kirkham-Brock) boundary condition on the clogged drain surface (horizontal segment) is imposed. A circular triangle is mapped conformally onto a reference half-plane, where Hilbert's boundary value problem for a holomorphic function is solved. For a given size of the levee, clogging causes a significant rise of the phreatic surface, although the seepage flow rate drops. In HYDRUS2-D simulations, a FEM-meshed Richards’ equation for a saturated-unsaturated 2-D flow is used for solving in a composite polygon, which mimics a vertical cross-section of a rectangular levee and a clogged-colmated blanket drain. Numerical results are in rough agreement with the analytical model.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Water Resources provides a forum for the presentation of fundamental scientific advances in the understanding of water resources systems. The scope of Advances in Water Resources includes any combination of theoretical, computational, and experimental approaches used to advance fundamental understanding of surface or subsurface water resources systems or the interaction of these systems with the atmosphere, geosphere, biosphere, and human societies. Manuscripts involving case studies that do not attempt to reach broader conclusions, research on engineering design, applied hydraulics, or water quality and treatment, as well as applications of existing knowledge that do not advance fundamental understanding of hydrological processes, are not appropriate for Advances in Water Resources.
Examples of appropriate topical areas that will be considered include the following:
• Surface and subsurface hydrology
• Hydrometeorology
• Environmental fluid dynamics
• Ecohydrology and ecohydrodynamics
• Multiphase transport phenomena in porous media
• Fluid flow and species transport and reaction processes
