Numerical Solution of a 2-D Linearised Boussinesq Equation

B. R. Sontakke and G. L. Rokade

The numerical solution of a 2-D linearized Boussinesq equation is presented and predict the spatio-temporal variation of the water table in a finite aquifer system in response to a transient recharge from rectangular basin. The boundary condition of the finite aquifer are taken as fixed heads, which would apply when the aquifer system is surrounded by open water bodies. Characteristic behaviours of the solution are illustrated with the help of a numerical example and solution is obtained by using finite difference method.
