Theis and Thiem solution

This document verifies that groundwater flow principles are correctly implemented in PLAXIS. Assuming a horizontal confined aquifer, the radial flow towards a well is studied under transient and steady-state flow conditions. PLAXIS results are compared with the analytical solutions presented by Theis (1935) and Thiem (1906).

Used version:

• PLAXIS 2D: 2018.00 | 2016.01 | Version 2015.02 (PlaxFlow module)
• PLAXIS 3D: 2018.00 | 2016.02 | AE.01 (PlaxFlow module)

This requires a PlaxFlow module for groundwater flow
