AQTESOLVpumping test
(pump test) software features the
most comprehensive suite of analytical solutions for evaluating pumping tests
(pump tests) in confined,
unconfined, leaky and fractured aquifers.
AQTESOLV includes a solution
by Daviau et al. (1985) for a horizontal well in
a confined aquifer. Simulate flow to the well with uniform-flux and
infinite-conductivity models.
AQTESOLV includes a solution
by Barker (1988) for a generalized radial flow model
for unsteady, n-dimensional flow to a fully penetrating source in an isotropic,
single- or double-porosity fractured aquifer. For the double-porosity case, AQTESOLV includes options for
slab and spherical matrix blocks.
AQTESOLV includes a
sophisticated pumping test solution by Neuman and Witherspoon (1969) for
analysis of a confined two-aquifer system with leakage. Unlike the
Hantush-Jacob (1955) and Hantush (1960) solutions for leaky aquifers, the
Neuman-Witherspoon (1969) solution accounts for drawdown in the unpumped aquifer.
AQTESOLV provides two methods
for analyzing pumping tests in fractured aquifers with discrete fractures. The Gringarten-Witherspoon
(1972) solution accounts for a single vertical plane fracture in an
anisotropic fractured medium. The Gringarten-Ramey (1974)
solution predicts drawdown in an anisotropic fractured aquifer with a single
horizontal plane fracture.
The
Theis (1935) and Hantush-Jacob (1955)
solutions include linear and
nonlinear well losses and allows you to compute well efficiency
from a step-drawdown test.
All of the pumping tests solutions in AQTESOLV
include variable-rate analysis. With this feature, you can use any
of the pumping test solutions in the software to simulate stepped variations in pumping
(including recovery).
