The Henry Saltwater Intrusion Problem

The Henry saltwater intrusion problem is considered the benchmark analysis for testing density-dependent groundwater flow models. Originally developed in 1964, a number of authors have proposed modifications to the problem. In particular, Simpson and Clement (2004) suggested that reducing the freshwater flux rate enhances the density-dependent effects; thereby improving the worthiness of the Henry problem as a benchmark analysis.

In this detailed example, both the standard and modified Henry saltwater intrusion problems are modeled using a density-dependent CTRAN/W analysis, and the results are compared to the semi-analytical solution.

GeoStudio Technical Symposium

December 23, 2008 - Shenzhen, China.
Dr. Leonard Lam of GEO-SLOPE International will be speaking at a technical symposium in Shenzhen, organized by GEO-SLOPE's partner, CnTech Co. Ltd. The topic of his talk will be “Advanced Geotechnical Modeling with GeoStudio 2007”.

Focusing on the power of an integrated analysis, Dr. Lam will be using the GeoStudio 2007 software to illustrate, and demonstrate, the many different types of engineering problems that the software can be used to solve.
