| Abstract | Dynamic effects of the ground-salt water interface corresponding to ground water fluctuations were investigated. The flow equations were
developed by accepting the 8.lidity of Dupuit's assumptions and considering "a", the ratio of ground water depth below the mean sea level to the ground water depth above the mean sea level, to be a constant or a function of time and space. The theoretical solutions were obtained by using a numerical scheme. Experiments were conducted to calibrate the parameter "a" and investigate the applicability of the mathematical model. The
equipment makes use of Hele-Shaw model,. which consisted of· two i3 ft. by 4 ft. by 1/2 in. plexi-glass plates placed vertically with a spa fog of
1/6 in.. The fluids used in the model were fresh water and lubricating oil having the kinematic viscosity 9.2 x 10-6 m2 /sec at temperature 70 F.
It is observed that the dynamic effects of suddenly rising step
function and linearly rising step function are insignificant. For the case of modified hydrograph, the dynamic effects are significant and the value of a was found to be equal to 50. For the case of sinusoidal curve, the dynamic effects are also significant and dependent on time. |
