Derivation of general equation for two-dimensional aquifer flow is given. In this derivation we perform a volume balance instead of a mass balance and obtained analytical solutions of two-dimensional saturated flow under various condition. We also constructed transient unconfined groundwater flow equation by combining continuity equation with the Darcy law and provide an analytical solution.

Abstract


Derivation of general equation for two-dimensional aquifer flow is given. In this derivation we perform a volume balance instead of a mass balance and obtained analytical solutions of two-dimensional saturated flow under various condition. We also constructed transient unconfined groundwater flow equation by combining continuity equation with the Darcy law and provide an analytical solution.
