Abstract

Water influx calculations have relied on accurate values of the Van Everdingen-Hurst WeD dimensionless variables. For programming and hand calculators, equations are needed to determine WeD. Previous models provide equations for WeD calculations for infinite aquifer cases. This paper presents two sets of regression equations that are simple to apply to obtain accurate values of WeD for either infinite or finite aquifer cases. The proposed equations have good agreement with the Van Everdingen-Hurst method with an average difference of 0.77% and 1.18% for the cases of infinite aquifer and finite aquifer, respectively.
