  2. Drawdown (hydrology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drawdown_(hydrology)

    In hydrology, there are two similar but distinct definitions in use for the word drawdown: In subsurface hydrogeology , drawdown is the reduction in hydraulic head observed at a well in an aquifer , typically due to pumping a well as part of an aquifer test or well test .

  3. Aquifer test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquifer_test

    Typically this equation is used to find the average T and S values near a pumping well, from drawdown data collected during an aquifer test. This is a simple form of inverse modeling, since the result ( s ) is measured in the well, r , t , and Q are observed, and values of T and S which best reproduce the measured data are put into the equation ...

  4. Well test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well_test

    In hydrology, a well test is conducted to evaluate the amount of water that can be pumped from a particular water well.More specifically, a well test will allow prediction of the maximum rate at which water can be pumped from a well, and the distance that the water level in the well will fall for a given pumping rate and duration of pumping.

  5. Pipe network analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_network_analysis

    The literal friction loss equations use a term called Q 2, but we want to preserve any changes in direction. Create a separate equation for each loop where the head losses are added up, but instead of squaring Q , use | Q |· Q instead (with | Q | the absolute value of Q ) for the formulation so that any sign changes reflect appropriately in ...

  6. Pressure-correction method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-correction_method

    The pressure value that is attempted to compute, is such that when plugged into momentum equations a divergence-free velocity field results. The mass imbalance is often also used for control of the outer loop. The name of this class of methods stems from the fact that the correction of the velocity field is computed through the pressure-field.

  7. Groundwater flow equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundwater_flow_equation

    A mass balance must be performed, and used along with Darcy's law, to arrive at the transient groundwater flow equation. This balance is analogous to the energy balance used in heat transfer to arrive at the heat equation. It is simply a statement of accounting, that for a given control volume, aside from sources or sinks, mass cannot be ...

  8. Maximum bubble pressure method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_bubble_pressure_method

    One of the useful methods to determine the dynamic surface tension is measuring the "maximum bubble pressure method" or, simply, bubble pressure method. [1] [2] Bubble pressure tensiometer produces gas bubbles (ex. air) at constant rate and blows them through a capillary which is submerged in the sample liquid and its radius is already known.

  9. Balanced flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balanced_flow

    The balanced-flow approach identifies typical trajectories and steady-state wind speeds derived from balance-giving pressure patterns. In reality, pressure patterns and the motion of air masses are tied together, since accumulation (or density increase) of air mass somewhere increases the pressure on the ground and vice versa.
