Analytical Solutions
WELLS computes the drawdown/hydraulic head at one or more predefined locations due to pumping at one or multiple locations in an aquifer. The computation is based on a variety of available analytical solutions.
The analytical solutions implemented in WELLS can be broadly classified in the following categories:
WELLS has been applied to the following studies:
- Identification of Pumping Influences in Long-Term Water Level Fluctuations (Harp and Vesselinov, 2011)
- Accounting for the influence of aquifer heterogeneity on spatial propagation of pumping drawdown (Harp and Vesselinov, 2011)
- On simulation and analysis of variable-rate pumping tests (Mishra et al., 2011)
The code was originaly developed at the University of Mining & Geology, Sofia, Bulgaria in 1992 by Velimir V. Vesselinov (Monty).
