Application:
This document verifies that groundwater flow principles are correctly implemented in PLAXIS. Assuming an horizontal confined aquifer, the radial flow towards a well is studied under transient and steady-state flow conditions. PLAXIS results are compared with the analytical solutions presented by Theis (1935) and Thiem (1906).
Used version:
- PLAXIS 2D - Version 2015.02 - PlaxFlow module
- PLAXIS 3D - Anniversary Edition (AE.01) - PlaxFlow module
This requires a PlaxFlow module for groundwater flow
