FlowNet draws the flow net and solves confined seepage under dams and sheet piles. Enter the geometry and read the discharge, pore pressure, uplift, exit gradient and factor of safety in seconds. • Six structures from one geometry: sheet pile, surface dam, embedded dam, cut-off, heel, and the general case • Tap anywhere to read pore pressure and hydraulic gradient • Uplift and exit-gradient profile with Harza's factor of safety • Anisotropic soil (r = kₓ/k_z), real and transformed views • Pinch to zoom, export PNG or CSV • Works offline
