Abstract

A solution of steady-state Darcy’s flow in heterogeneous porous media is developed by means of the Dual Reciprocity Boundary Element Method (DRBEM). The governing equation is reduced to a Poisson-type equation involving a nonlinear non-homogeneous term. The Dual Reciprocity Method (DRM) is used for converting the resulting domain integral into equivalent boundary integrals. The present formulation is general as it allows the solution of Darcy’s flow with any hydraulic conductivity variation. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the validity of the procedure.
