Abstract
In this paper, new discrete method which applied the approach of the hybrid model to a seepage flow problem is developed. First, the formulation which introduced the potential continuity by penalty in general weighting resudial procedure is shown. Compatibility of the potential on the element boundary edge is approximately introduced using the penalty. Next, the Taylor’s series expansion is used for potential function. It is possible that this model uses the element of the arbitrary shape, because independent potential field is assumed for each element. The equivalent solution with the analytical solution when it examined the accuracy of numerical solution using this model is obtained.
