Thanks, Peter.
I tested the Unconfined-aq case with different solution convergences. With large convergence criteria, the solutions of the Unconfined aq. case were not correct. Considering the analytical solution and the Confined-aq case (see below), the modeled pumping rate might not be too big.
This modeling is for a simple pumping-well simulation:
- A single well in the homogeneous isotropic medium using a constant pumping rate.
- A steady-state analytical solution is available (Thiem-Dupuit formula, see (1)).
For your review, I have attached three files:
(1) Model setting and results - comparison between the analytical solution and the results of Confined-aquifer case. (pdf file)
(2) Model file: Confined-aquifer case
(3) Model file: Unconfined-aquifer case --> the dt plot is shown in (1)
Could you review the above three files and help me understand the following?
(a) Are there some missing items/settings in the model file (2)?
(b) How to solve the convergence issue in (2)?
Best,
