Van Everdingen-Hurst Aquifer Model

Description

Calculate water influx using the Van Everdingen-Hurst (VEH) transient aquifer model. This rigorous method handles both infinite and finite aquifers with time-dependent pressure response.

VEH Model:

  • Based on radial diffusivity equation solutions
  • Uses dimensionless time and radius
  • Applicable to early-time transient behavior
