Confined seepage in Matlab

By using Partial Differential Equation Toolbox of Matlab language, I generated a simple problem of confined seepage. To use it

  1. save flow_v2.m (mouse right button and save destination as)
  2. open Matlab;
  3. type pdetool at the Matlab command line;
  4. open saved flow_v2.m.m through pdetool toolbox window.

You’ll see the results in terms of equipotential contour and water velocity field (red arrows), based on Laplace equation and Dirichlet boundary conditions.

Of this example, you can edit:

  • Geometry;
  • Boundary conditions;
  • FEM mesh;
  • Results visualization;

    Hey Alvise,

    I would like to try your Matlab code, but I think there’s a mistake with your m-file…it is actually a html file of our blog!

    Let me know…

    Hey! This is the fourth time visiting now and I really just wanted to say I truley get pleasure from looking at your website. I decided to bookmark it at stumbleupon.com with your title: Confined seepage in Matlab | Hydraulic and Environmental Engineering and your Domain name: http://www.envengineering.it/blog/2007/confined-seepage-in-matlab/. I hope this is okay with you, I’m making an attempt to give your wonderful blog a bit more exposure. Be back soon.
