SEEP2D is a 2D seepage analysis program written by Dr. Fred Tracy of the

sheet piles
. "The model is internationally known in the engineering community as a model for complicated seepage analysis of dams and levees."[1] It has been shown to have acceptable accuracy compared with experimental results.[2]

Features

SEEP2D has the following features:[3]

  • Steady-state
  • 2D profiles (XZ)
  • Finite-element
    unstructured mesh
  • Confined or unconfined models
  • Automatic mesh truncation on phreatic surface (optional)
  • Flow modeling in both saturated and unsaturated regions (optional)
  • Support for nonhomogeneous and anisotropic soil conditions
  • Output of total head, flow vectors
  • Output of everything necessary to create a
    flownet

Related software

  • GMS - has a pre and post processor for SEEP2D.
  • UTEXAS - slope stability analysis software that can use SEEP2D results.
