    Theis and Thiem solution

    Application PLAXIS 2D
    PLAXIS 3D
    Version PLAXIS 2D

    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
