Numerical simulation of 3-D seepage field in tailing pond and its practical application

Abstract The new generalized method of numerical model of three-dimensional seepage field in tailing pond is provided. According to actual terrain, the major control points of the cross section are made to the curve, and then make curve to synthetic curved surface. Three-dimensional numerical model is a space model enclosed by these surfaces. This model agrees well with the actual terrain and can effectively eliminate the singularity. The actual project as an example is made by numerical simulation of three-dimensional seepage field. Reliability of computing result is further proved with contrast with the actual survey data.
