| Abstract: | Seepage under a flat apron in a two-layer ground consisting of homogeneous isotropic layers of equal thickness was investigated by means of the analytic theory of linear differential equations by Polubarinova-Kochina 1]. An approximate solution of the same problem for layers of different thickness by the methods of the variational calculus was given in 2]. The solution to such a problem for homogeneous anisotropic layers of different thickness by means of a special complex variable representation and linear conjugation was given in 3] by Prusov and the author of the present paper. The method of 3] is now used to investigate two-dimensional steady seepage flow under two aprons in a multilayer ground consisting of n homogeneous anisotropic layers of different thickness, the principal directions of anistropy of each layer having an arbitrary position relative to the horizontal.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 6, pp. 155–158, October–December, 1981. |
