Abstract
This article introduces a new boundary-type meshless method designed for solving axisymmetric transient groundwater flow problems, specifically for aquifer tests and estimating hydraulic properties. The method approximates solutions for axisymmetric transient groundwater flow using basis functions that satisfy the governing equation by solving the inverse boundary value problem in the spacetime domain. The effectiveness of this method was demonstrated through validation with the Theis solution, which involves transient flow to a well in an infinite confined aquifer. The study included numerical examples that predicted drawdown at various radial distances and times near pumping wells. Additionally, an iterative scheme, namely, the fictitious time integration method, was employed to iteratively determine the hydraulic properties during the pumping test. The results indicate that this approach yielded highly accurate solutions without relying on the conventional time-marching scheme. Due to its temporal and spatial discretization within the spacetime domain, this method was found to be advantageous for estimating crucial hydraulic properties, such as the transmissivity and storativity of an aquifer.
