Solution Methods

Only AQTESOLV includes solution methods for the following test/field conditions:

• unconfined pumping test with 3-D saturated/unsaturated flow (Tartakovsky and Neuman 2007)
• step test in confined aquifer with wellbore storage (Dougherty and Babu 1984)
• step test in leaky aquifer (Hantush and Jacob 1955)
• horizontal well (Daviau et al. 1985)
• interceptor trench (Murdoch 1994)
• two-aquifer confined system (Neuman and Witherspoon 1969)
• wedge-shaped aquifer (Hantush 1962)
• water-table aquitard (Cooley and Case 1973)
• confined/unconfined conversion (Moench and Prickett 1972)
• generalized radial flow model (Barker 1988)
• vertical fracture (Gringarten and Witherspoon 1972)
• horizontal fracture (Gringarten and Ramey 1974)
• slug test with inertial effects and partially penetrating wells (Butler 1998; Springer and Gelhar 1991; Butler and Zhan 2004)
• slug test with nonlinear effects (McElwee and Zenner 1998)
• slug test with well screened across water table (Dagan 1978)
• slug test in fractured aquifer (Barker and Black 1984)
• deconvolution for slug test (Peres et al. 1989)
• constant-head tests
