Flow net: graphical solution to Laplace equation (∇²h = 0) for potential flow. Consists of: (1) Flow lines (stream lines — paths of water particle); (2) Equipotential lines (lines of equal head). Properties: flow lines and equipotential lines intersect at RIGHT ANGLES (conformal mapping). Curvilinear squares (a = b) for uniform q. q = kH × Nf/Nd per unit width where Nf = flow channels, Nd = equipotential drops.
