Extension of the Gassmann-Biot Theory of Porous Media (Part 2) Derivation of the Hydraulic Head Equation


Abstract
This paper shows that the hydraulic head equation in the hydraulics of groundwater is included in the extended Gassmann-Biot theory of the porous media. Firstly the hydraulic head is introduced in terms of the Gassmann-Biot notation. Then the hydraulic head equation is derived from the continuity of the total horizontal flow.
