Lectures:
1. Physical properties of fluids (density, specific gravity, compressibility, thermal expansion, viscosity, surface and contact tension, gas solubility - basic relationships and units).
2. Physical properties of aquifer (permeability, transmisivity, porosity, volumetric elasticity of aquifer, storativity, hydraulic conductivity - basic relations and units).
3. Systematics of the types of filtration fluxes - basic characteristics and overview of basic flow equations.
4. Law of continuity of flow - general continuity equation (steady and transient filtration of compressible and incompressible fluids).
5. Darcy's Linear Law (Problems of filtration rates, tortuosity). Nonlinear laws of filtration. Turbulent flow.
6. Basic equations of gravitational fluxes of incompressible fluids (Boussinesq equation) – unconfined conditions.
7. Basic equations of fluid filtration under confined conditions (incompressible, compressible under low and high-pressure).
8. Basic analytical equations for flows under steady flow conditions in confined and unconfined systems (Dupuit equations).
9. Depression cone (shape and characteristics). Basic computational relationships. Transient behavior of groundwater drawdown. Interference of wells (depression cones).
10. Basic analytical equations for flows under transient flow conditions in confined and unconfined systems (Theiss equations).
11. Methods of hydrodynamic testing – pumping tests, recovery tests, slug tests.
12. Hydrodynamic testing under steady state flow conditions (confined and unconfined aquifer). Dupuit method.
13. Hydrodynamic testing under transient flow conditions (confined and unconfined aquifer). Theiss type type curves, Jacob's method.
