Analysis of Flow to a Large‐Diameter Well Discrete Kernel Approach

Abstract
Unsteady flow to a large‐diameter well has been analyzed by a discrete kernel approach, taking well storage into consideration. The variation of drawdown with time has been obtained at the well and inside the aquifer. The validity of the new method has been verified by comparing the drawdown at the well with the drawdown given by Papadopulos and Cooper (1967). The aquifer contribution to discharge at various times has been estimated.
