Oscillatory pumping wells in phreatic, compressible, and homogeneous aquifers
Oscillatory well pumping was proposed recently as a tool for hydraulic tomography. Periodic pumping at a few frequencies is carried out through vertical intervals along the pumping well and the periodic head is measured along a few piezometers. The paper presents an analytical solution for the head field in an unconfined aquifer of finite depth under the common assumptions of a linearized water...
متن کاملFrom Discrete Boltzmann Equation to Compressible Linearized Euler Equations
This paper concerns the asymptotic analysis of the linearized Euler limit for a general discrete velocity model of the Boltzmann equation. This is done for any dimension of the physical space, for densities which remain in a suitable small neighbourhood of global Maxwellians. Providing that the initial fluctuations are smooth, the scaled solutions of discrete Boltzmann equation are shown to hav...
متن کاملSensitivity analysis of pumping tests in non-uniform aquifers
An approach for better understanding of the physical implication of estimated aquifer parameters is demonstrated by analysing the pumping test data at Cottam in the Nottingham aquifer, UK. A sensitivity analysis showed that the area represented by the estimated parameters was much smaller than the area covered by the depression cone. After parameters are estimated, further research should be ca...
متن کاملQualitative Mathematical Analysis of the Richards Equation
The Richards equation is widely used as a model for the flow of water in unsaturated soils. For modelling one-dimensional flow in a homogeneous soil, this equation can be cast in the form of a specific nonlinear partial differential equation with a time derivative and one spatial derivative. This paper is a survey of recent progress in the pure mathematical analysis of this last equation. The e...
متن کاملPreconditioners for Linearized Discrete Compressible Euler Equations
We consider a Newton-Krylov approach for discretized compressible Euler equations. A good preconditioner in the Krylov subspace method is essential for obtaining an efficient solver in such an approach. In this paper we compare point-block-Gauss-Seidel, point-block-ILU and point-block-SPAI preconditioners. It turns out that the SPAI method is not satisfactory for our problem class. The point-bl...
