Abstract
Analytical expressions for ramp kernels (new kernels) for an improved convolution for obtaining aquifer responses, viz, groundwater head, rate, and cumulative volume of groundwater flow, to an arbitrary stage, are obtained. The use of the ramp kernels gives accurate aquifer responses and is superior to the conventional convolution in which numerical integration or pulse kernels are used. The extent of improvement in the results with the use of the ramp kernels is discussed and quantified for three examples, where the results are compared to analytical solutions. For the comparisons, the analytical solutions for linear and sinusoidal stream stages are derived. The use of the ramp kernels reproduces accurately the analytical solutions. The concept of ramp kernels can also be used for obtaining an accurate solution of convolution integrals observed in other fields.
