Question

Khosla’s theory of flow nets says that the loss head does not take place uniformly.

(a) True

(b) False

I got this question during an interview.

My enquiry is from Seepage Theories topic in division Seepage Theories and Weirs and Barrages Design of Irrigation Engineering

Answer 1

The correct choice is (a) True

To explain I would say: The flow nets proposed by the khosla’s theory says that the loss head depends upon the whole geometry of the figure, that is the shape of foundation, depth of impervious boundary and levels of upstream and downstream beds. If the equipotential lines are traced closer, then the loss of head is fast and vice versa.
