Boundary-Integral-Equation Method for Computing the Three-Dimensional Flow of Groundwater

摘要

The boundary-integral-equation method for computing the three-dimensional steady flow of groundwater is described. Starting from the basic flow equations, a reciprocity theorem is derived from which source-type integral representations for the flow-field quantities are obtained. Utilizing these representations, the relevant boundary integral equations are arrived at. Their numerical handling is discussed in some detail.
