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).
