While classical hydrology has often focused on steady flow conditions, many systems display periodic behavior due to tidal, seasonal, annual, and human influences. Describing and quantifying subsurface hydraulic responses to these influences may be challenging to those who are unfamiliar with periodically forced groundwater systems. The goal of this volume is to present a clear and accessible mathematical introduction to the basic and advanced theory of time-periodic groundwater flow, which is essential for developing a comprehensive knowledge of groundwater hydraulics and groundwater hydrology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVolume highlights include:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eOverview of time-periodic forcing of groundwater systems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDefinition of the Boundary Value Problem for harmonic systems in space and time\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExamples of 1-, 2-, and 3-dimensional flow in various media\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cl\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotation xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments xvii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I: Introduction 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Introduction 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II: Problem Definition 7\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Initial Boundary Value Problem for Hydraulic Head 9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Hydraulic Head Components and Their IBVPs 13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Periodic Transient Components 15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 BVP for Harmonic Constituents 21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Polar Form of Space BVP 29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Complex-Variable Form of Space BVP 37\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Comparison of Space BVP Forms 43\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart III: Elementary Examples 45\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Examples: 1D Flow in Ideal Media 47\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Examples: 1D Flow in Exponential Media 63\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 Examples: 1D Flow in Power Law Media 89\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 Examples: 2D and 3D Flow in Ideal Media 95\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e13 Examples: Uniform-Gradient Flow 107\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart IV: Essential Concepts 121\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e14 Attenuation, Delay, and Gradient Collinearity 123\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e15 Time Variation of Specific-Discharge Constituent 131\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart V: Stationary Points 149\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e16 Stationary Points: Basic Concepts 151\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e17 Stationary Points: Amplitude and Phase 157\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e18 Flow Stagnation 171\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart VI: Wave Propagation 181\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e19 Harmonic, Hydraulic Head Waves 183\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e20 Wave Distortion 199\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e21 Waves in One Dimension 215\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e22 Wave Equation 225\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart VII: Energy Transport 231\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e23 Mechanical Energy of Groundwater 233\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e24 Mechanical Energy: Time Averages 239\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e25 Mechanical Energy of Single-Constituent Fields 249\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart VIII: Conclusion 261\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e26 Conclusion 263\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart IX: Appendices 269\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA Hydraulic Head Components 271\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eB Useful Results from Trigonometry 273\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eC Linear Transformation of Space Coordinates 275\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eD Complex Variables 281\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eE Kelvin Functions 283\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBibliography 291\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 295\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/l\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49406994383191,"sku":"9781119133940","price":132.26,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781119133940.jpg?v=1730497819","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/hydrodynamics-of-timeperiodic-groundwater-flow-9781119133940","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
