Logarithmic Interpolation for Groundwater Flow near Wells

  • Conference paper
Finite Elements in Water Resources

Abstract

A new logarithmic finite element interpolation has been developed to model groundwater flow near wells in two or three dimensional confined flows. An important feature of the new method is its ability to represent the curved outline of the well and to model the logarithmic head distribution in its vicinity. The logarithmic elements are compatible with linear elements and thus, both can be used in the same grid.
