Heterogeneous type curve models

[jcherw2]

Is there any plan to include options for non-uniform aquifers such as channelized/strip- or multi radial-aquifer see eg.

I used to have Fortran codes that calculated these curves

Hey there!

Thanks for your interest in welltestpy. These type-cruves basically would need to be added to AnaFlow to be then used in welltestpy to fit them to given data.

The second link is in theory already implemented, since the solution of Buttler is a special case of the extended generalized radial flow model that we presented and use to calculate most type-curves in AnaFlow. See this figure.

There we would only need to add a new estimator to welltespy using this special case.

At the moment there a no plans to do this, but I will keep it in mind for the future. But contributions are welcome.

Cheers, Sebastian
