A Unified View of Nonlinear Resistance Formulas for Seepage Flow in Coarse Granular Media

There are many studies on the nonlinear relationship between seepage velocity and hydraulic gradient in coarse granular materials, using different approaches and variables to define the resistance formula applicable to that type of granular media. On the basis of an analysis of the existing formulations developed in different studies, we propose an approach for comparing the results obtained by some of the most important studies on state-of-the-art seepage flow in coarse granular media.

Nonlinear Resistance Circuit Subsection Linearity Decomposition Fitting Analysis

The analysis of circuits is frequently required in the electricity of physics. When analyzing circuits, the general idea is to study the issues related to nonlinear resistance circuits based on commonly used physical and electrical theory. Generally, circuits can be divided into linear resistance circuits and nonlinear resistance circuits. However, for some nonlinear resistance circuit, a small part of them are decomposed through subsection linearity while most of them are adopted the form of hieroglyph combination for subsection decomposition fitting analysis. For the following contents, the author will adopt curve layout method to analyze nonlinear resistance element and relation characteristics of voltage and current; to state the characteristics and nature of common electronic elements in our life, and concepts of concave resistance and convex resistance; to analyze the characteristics of nonlinear resistance circuits through electrical circuit analysis method based on the electrical theorem of physics; finally, to analyze referring to actual cases,study the veracity, verify the feasibility and scientificity of the adopted analytical approach, apply image graphics of the resistance circuits in the convenient way to solve complicated design problems among actual electrical problems.
