A flow net is a graphical tool used in soil mechanics to analyze seepage through soil structures. It consists of intersecting flow and equipotential lines representing water flow and hydraulic potential distribution. Engineers use flow nets to visualize and quantify seepage rates, flow directions, and areas of high pore water pressure, aiding in the design and stability analysis of hydraulic structures like dams. They are essential for optimizing designs and identifying potential failure mechanisms to ensure the safety and performance of soil structures under seepage conditions.
