An Analytical Solution for Non-Darcian Flow on a Constant Head Packer Test in the Interlayer Staggered Zone by Qi Shen, Zhifang Zhou, Meng Chen, Sijia Li, Zhe Wang, Yabing Li

“…Groundwater flow in an aquifer has frequently been found to be non-Darcian by performing in situ tests. A novel analytic model is proposed in this study for describing the unsteady non-Darcian flow in a confined aquifer by taking advantage of the observed flow rate and injection pressure during the constant head packer test. …”
