Analytical Solution of Linearized Boussinesq Equation for Unsteady Seepage Flow in Ditch-Drain Sloping Aquifer
This paper presents a generalized solution of linearized Boussinesq equation to predict unsteady flow of subsurface seepage induced by localized recharge over sloping ditch-drain aquifer. The mathematical model is based on Boussinesq equation with Dupuit-Forchheimer assumption in which the spatial location of the recharge basin is treated as an additional parameter. Analytical expressions for water head distribution in the aquifer and discharge rate into the ditches are obtained by solving the governing flow equation with eigenvalue-eigenfunction method... view moreĀ»
