... theequation of continuity, see (8.2), i.e.∂qx∂x+∂qz∂z= 0. (10. 4)62Arnold Verruijt, Soil Mechanics : 10. FLOW NET 67Problems 10. 1 Sketch a flow net for the situation shown in Figure 8.7, and ... continuityequation (10. 4) is automatically satisfied, as can be verified by substitutionof eqs. (10. 5) into (10. 4).It follows from (10. 5) that the flow is precisely in x-direction if the valueof ... the x-direction coincides with the direction of flow, the value of qzis 0. It then follows from (10. 2) and (10. 5) that in that case Φ isconstant in z-direction, and that Ψ is constant in x-direction....
