Variational Inequality Formulation Method for Unconfined Seepage in 3D Fracture Network

Abstract:

A variational inequality formulation method to define the free surface of fracture network was given, related formulas were deduced and the Finite Element Method was used to solve the equations. By computing, the following conclusions were gotten, that is the variational inequality formulation method to solve unconfined seepage in 3 dimensional fracture network of rock mass is possible, and had a better numerical stability and much less mesh-depenciency.
