Abstract
AbstractThe present study discusses a free boundary problem arising from the steady two-dimensional seepage flow through a rectangular dam. The free boundary location, the potential velocity field, and the pressure field have been found using successive linearisation method (SLM) by solving a nonlinear partial differential equation arising as a governing equation for this problem. The SLM is a newly developed method, which is a very efficient and reliable method to handle nonlinear problems. The numerical and the graphical representation of the solution has been discussed using MATLAB under the certain valid assumption.KeywordsFree boundary problemsTwo-dimensional potential flowsPorous mediaSeepage faceSuccessive linearisation method (SLM)
