Rules For Creating Flow Nets

Flow nets are used to model groundwater flow and consist of perpendicular streamlines and equipotential lines that form curvilinear squares. Streamlines are parallel to boundaries where no flow occurs and each represents an equal amount of flow through the permeable medium between impermeable boundaries.

Flow Nets: Rules for Creating Flow Nets

• Streamlines (FL) and equipotential (EP) lines are perpendicular.


• Streamlines are parallel to ‘no flow boundaries’.
• The flow line-equipotential polygons should approach curvilinear
squares, where diagonals cross at right angles.
• Each stream tube carries the same flow.
