Abstract
The underground contour of an embedded rectangular dam, whose corners are rounded in accordance with curves of constant flow velocity and whose water-permeable base is underlain by a confining layer with a curvilinear roof characterized by a constant flow velocity, is constructed. The corresponding boundary value problem is solved by means of the semi-inverse use of the velocity hodograph method. The results of the numerical calculations are given and the effect of the main determining parameters of the model on the shape and dimensions of the underground contour of the dam and the curvilinear confining layer is analyzed. The limiting cases in which the water-permeable base of the dam has an unbounded thickness, namely, a streamlined apron with a horizontal insert and streamlined sheet piling (tooth), are investigated in detail.
