This example is taken as a realistic dam-reservoir-foundation coupling system subjected to horizontal earthquake (Y directional) loading conditions.
The dam is 42 m high, and the water level is assumed to be at the top of the dam. The coupling system is discretized into 192 concrete brick elements, 576 water brick elements, 1,568 rock brick elements, 812 viscous spring quad elements (on the outward sides and bottom of the foundation rocks), 96 interface elements (between solid and fluid), and 96 elements for viscous boundary (on the outward sides of water). The pressure boundary on the top of the water is p=0.
