Hydraulic Conductivity Imaging from 3-D Transient Hydraulic Tomography at Several Pumping/Observation Densities
[1] 3-D Hydraulic tomography (3-D HT) is a method for aquifer characterization whereby the 3-D spatial distribution of aquifer flow parameters (primarily hydraulic conductivity, K) is estimated by joint inversion of head change data from multiple partially penetrating pumping tests. While performance of 3-D HT has been studied extensively in numerical experiments, few field studies have demonst...
متن کاملModeling slug tests in unconfined aquifers taking into account water table kinematics, wellbore skin and inertial effects
Two models for slug tests conducted in unconfined aquifers are developed by (a) extending the unconfined KGS solution to oscillatory responses, yielding a model referred to herein as the unified model, and (b) replacing the constant head condition with the linearized kinematic condition at the water table. The models can be used to analyze the full range of responses from highly oscillatory to ...
متن کاملField, laboratory, and modeling investigation of the skin effect at wells with slotted casing, Boise Hydrogeophysical Research Site
Understanding and quantification of wellbore skin improves our ability to accurately measure or estimate hydrologic parameters with tests at wells such as pumping tests, flowmeter tests, and slug tests. This paper presents observations and results from a series of field, laboratory, and modeling tests which, together, explain the source of wellbore skin at wells at a research wellfield and whic...
متن کاملHydrological Parameter Estimations from a Conservative Tracer Test with Variable-Density Effects at the Boise Hydrogeophysical Research Site
[1] Reliable predictions of groundwater flow and solute transport require an estimation of the detailed distribution of the parameters (e.g., hydraulic conductivity, effective porosity) controlling these processes. However, such parameters are difficult to estimate because of the inaccessibility and complexity of the subsurface. In this regard, developments in parameter estimation techniques an...
