Abstract | ||||
Strong Form Differential Quadrature Element Method (DQEM) is a non-ubiquitous technique for solving various physical and engineering problems having arbitrary domain configurations and complicated boundary conditions. In the present paper, the DQEM is adopted to simulate 2D steady-state confined seepage using quadrilateral elements unprecedentedly. The method discretizes the studied domain to a number of homogenous isotropic or anisotropic zones/elements. Techniques for defining boundary conditions are presented. The numerical modeling process is implemented in a PYTHON computer code. Various problems are solved in the present paper and the obtained results are compared with the available results of theoretical and numerical methods pre-published in the literature. Numerical results demonstrate the rigor and eligibility of the unfamiliar approach (DQEM) with less computational efforts. | ||||
