| Abstract: | Water filtration to partially penetrating wells in a uniform confined stratum has been extensively studied recently. Considerably less study has been made of filtration to partially penetrating wells in layered strata, which are frequently encountered in practice. Some particular cases of this problem were considered in 1–4], and its most complete solution was given in 4]. However, this solution is presented in a general form which is difficult to apply in practice.In the following we present the solution of the water filtration problem to partially penetrating wells in a two-layer confined stratum for the cases of the operating portion of the well located in both the upper and lower stratum layers. The problem is solved by the method developed in 5, 6], where the potential  of a point sink is first found, and then the potential  of a line sink of intensity q is found, which is then used as the operating portion of the well.Applying to the resulting solutions the known method of filtration resistances, approximate relations are presented for the final calculations. |
