Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
Write the expression for D’Arcy’s law.
Here,
The hydraulic conductivity is
Formula used:
Consider the Laplace Equation,
Write the central difference approximation for the second derivative.
Calculation:
Refer to Figure P32.8, draw the nodal diagram.
Recall the Laplace Equation,
The central difference approximation applies for the second derivative in above Laplace equation,
At the node,
Approximate the all external nodes with a central finite difference,
Thus,
Now with a central finite difference, approximate the external nodes.
Solve further,
Substitute (3) and (4) in (2).
Similarly, at the node,
