Radial well aquifer benchmark (Water Module)

This testcase demonstrates a situation where a well is pumping up ground water. A characteristic ground water level curve will form over time.

Formulas

Stationary lowering of the ground water table in a closed water transmissive layer can be described by the following formula

$Q_{0}$: amount of water pumped out in m³ / day

Setup

We use the following setup in our tests. The grid size used is 51 by 51, with a configurable cell size of $dx$ in meters. There is one underground outlet, which pumps water away continuously with a default amount per second.

The outlet is placed on the cells x = 25 and y = 25 as an inlet with a negative inlet.

Inlet Q is set to ${\frac {-Q_{0}}{3600*24}}$
