Fizikalni model procjeđivanja vode kroz porozni materijal

U ovom radu opisana su osnovna načela i vladajuće jednadžbe za opis strujanja podzemne vode kroz porozni materijal. U svrhu dobivanja mjerodavnih vrijednosti pojedinih karakterističnih fizikalnih veličina kod strujanja podzemne vode u pjeskovitom poroznom materijalu (brzina procjeđivanja, ekvipotencijal u određenoj točki unutar prostora, hidraulički gradijenti, protok i sl.) korišten je fizikalni model GUNT HM169 koji čini sastavni dio hidrotehničkog laboratorija Građevinskog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Rijeci. U radu je opisan princip rada za navedeni fizikalni model te način pripreme samih eksperimentalnih pokusa. U tom pogledu, izrađeno je nekoliko hidrodinamičkih analiza strujanja podzemne vode u odnosu na varijabilnost potencijala gornje i donje vode, analiza strujanja ispod vertikalnog čeličnog žmurja (dijafragme) te analiza opstrujavanja podzemne vode ispod prostorno trapezno izmodelirane prirodne nasute brane. Za potrebe provođenja pokusa, nasuta brana ručno je izrađena od pleksi stakla. Svrha istraživanja kroz fizikalni model HM169 bila je dobivanje jasnije slike strujnog polja ispod pojedinih hidrotehničkih objekata i, posljedično, dobivanje simulacijskih prikaza propagacije toka podzemne vode koja je praćena žutim fluorescin traserom. This paper describes basic principles and governing equations for describing groundwater flow through porous material. In order to obtain the relevant values of some of the characteristic physical quantities of groundwater flow in the sandy porous material (infiltration velocity, equipotential at a certain point within the space, hydraulic gradients, flow, etc.), the physical model GUNT HM169 was used, which is an integral part of the hydro technical laboratory of the Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Rijeka. The paper describes the working principle for the mentioned physical model and the preparation of the experimental trials themselves. In this respect, several hydrodynamic analyzes of groundwater flow regarding the upper and lower water variability potential were made as well as the flow analysis below the vertical steel diaphragm and the analysis of groundwater depletion under the spatially trapezoidal modified natural sloping dam. To carry out the experiment, the sloping dam was manually made of Plexiglas. The purpose of the research through the physical model HM169 was to obtain a clearer picture of the streamline field below the individual hydroelectric objects and consequently to obtain a simulation
