Investigation of steady water inflow into a subsea grouted tunnel

This paper investigates analytical solutions for steady water inflow into a subsea grouted tunnel. The relevant parameters include the pore pressure distribution in the aquifer, external water pressure on the grouted zone and water inflow. Analytical solutions are obtained by the complex variable method (CVM), mirror image method (MIM) and axisymmetric modeling method (AMM). A series of numerical simulations are performed to validate the...
