Abstract:The mass balance equation for stationary flow in a confined aquifer and the phenomenological Darcy's law lead to a classical elliptic PDE, whose phenomenological coefficient is transmissivity, T, whereas the unknown function is the piezometric head. The differential system method (DSM) allows the computation of T when two "independent" data sets are available, i.e., a couple of piezometric heads and the related source or sink terms corresponding to different flow situations such that the hydraulic gradients ar… Show more
