The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of seepage flow in the Gilan Gharb earthen dam in two saturated and unsaturated flow states using numerical simulation,. The results of the numerical model for saturated flow and unsaturated flow indicated that the seepage flow rate in the unsaturated flow state is higher than the saturated flow state due to the addition of the amount of flow in the areas with capillary fringe flow. The comparison of the phreatic line in these two investigated states indicates that the phreatic line is in a lower location in the saturated flow compared to the unsaturated flow. The highest values of the exit hydraulic gradient occur nearly after the toe of the dam, so that the exit hydraulic gradient in the unsaturated state is 1.8 times of the saturated state. Since the exit hydraulic gradient is less than one for both saturated and unsaturated states, sand boiling phenomenon does not occur in the investigated earthen dam. It should be noted that the hydraulic gradient in the dam body was also investigated for two saturated and unsaturated states and the results showed that the hydraulic gradient in both states are not meaningfully different from each other and the hydraulic gradient values decrease significantly when exiting the dam core so that the value of this reduction in the state of unsaturated flow is more than that of saturated flow.
