Abstract

The problem of draining a clay layer, overlying an inclined impervious substratu , by means of a s of parallel drain tubes is mathematically solved in this paper.
The complex potential, the velocity potential and the stream function of the system are established.
A new drain discharge formula satisfying the proper boundary conditions is also deduced. Finally the effect of the angle of inclination of the impervious layer, on the drain discharge is investigated.
