SEEP2D is a 2D seepage analysis program written by Dr. Fred Tracy of the
United States Army Corps of Engineers
The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is the military engineering branch of the United States Army. A direct reporting unit (DRU), it has three primary mission areas: Engineer Regiment, military construction, and civil wo ...
. The program is used to analyze water seepage, typically through
dams and
levees or under
sheet piles. "The model is internationally known in the
engineering community as a model for complicated seepage analysis of dams and levees."
It has been shown to have acceptable accuracy compared with experimental results.
Features
SEEP2D has the following features:
* Steady-state
* 2D profiles (XZ)
*
Finite-element unstructured mesh
* Confined or unconfined models
* Automatic mesh truncation on phreatic surface (optional)
* Flow modeling in both saturated and unsaturated regions (optional)
* Support for nonhomogeneous and anisotropic soil conditions
* Output of total head, flow vectors
* Output of everything necessary to create a
flownet
