This document verifies that groundwater flow principles are correctly implemented in PLAXIS. A soil column with a drain inside is simulated. The total amount of water leaving through the drain is calculated in PLAXIS and the numerical results are compared to the closed form solution proposed by Dupuit (1863).

Used version:


 This requires a PlaxFlow module for groundwater flow
