Abstract
A domain decomposition technique for a free boundary seepage problem of flow through a porous dam with a toe drain is considered. An iterative procedure is proposed that reduces the problem to a sequence of problems on each subdomain, one which includes the free boundary and is described by a variational inequality and the other which includes the remainder of the problem and is described by a second-order elliptic equation. A relaxation is performed at the subdomain interfaces at each iteration. Numerical results are presented.
