Slug tests in partially penetrating wells

Slug tests in partially penetrating wells

A semianalytical solution is presented to a mathematical model describing the flow of groundwater inresponse to a slug test in a confined or unconfined porous formation. The model incorporates the effects of partial penetration, anisotropy, finiteradius well skins, and upper and lower boundaries of either a constant-head or an impermeable form. This model is employed to investigate the error th...

A Slug Test for Determining Hydraulic Conductivity of Unconfined Aquifers With Completely or Partially Penetrating Wells

A procedure is presented for calculating the hydraulic conductivity of an aquifer near a well from the rate of rise of the water level in the well after a certain volume of water is suddenly removed. The calculation is based on the Thiem equation of steady state flow to a welL. The effective radius Re over which the head difference between the equilibrium water table in the aquifer and the wate...

A Comprehensive Solution for Partially Penetrating Wells with Various Reservoir Structures

This paper presents analytical solutions and simulations for pressure transient behavior of the partially penetrating wells (PPWs). The Newman’s product method was adopted to develop the basic instantaneous source functions which characterize the response of PPWs. These results were obtained based on the solution of fully penetrating wells (FPWs) and they were presented in Laplace domain. Furth...
