ART OF SINGLE-WELL PUSH-PULL TEST

The Single-Well Push-Pull (SWPP) Test has been widely used to estimate aquifer parameters associated with reactive solute transport and geothermal transport in the subsurface due to its low cost and high efficiency.

Art of Single-Well Push-Pull Test presents the latest achievements of SWPP in the radial dispersion. It provides the latest SWPP models, analytical solutions, numerical solutions and experimental data, and delves into the intricacies of SWPP testing, presenting cutting-edge models, analytical and numerical solutions, and field application. Among its offerings, the book highlights SWPP models that account for various factors such as mixing effects in the wellbore, skin effects around the well, intro-well hydraulics, aquitard influence, and non-Darcian behaviors within the aquifer.

This book is a great toolkit for both practitioners and researchers. It provides readers with the knowledge and tools required to develop and refine SWPP models, and enhance SWPP data interpretation.
