Simple Approximation for Flowing Well Problem
Publication: Journal of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering
Volume 126, Issue 1
Abstract
The discharge and yield of a flowing well can be computed by existing complex solutions or by Duhamel's technique using kernel coefficients. The mathematical complexities of these methods can be very much simplified through numerical methods without loss of accuracy. In the present study simple equations for both the well discharge and well production functions are presented. The equation for the well discharge function has been used to find aquifer constants for known well discharge and drawdown through the error minimization method. The results are compared in order to demonstrate the relative simplicity of the proposed equations.
