Abstract

A model of a fresh groundwater flow through a rectangular horizontal pressurized reservoir toward a salt-water sea (basin, reservoir, trench, etc.) is examined within the framework of two-dimensional steady-state flow theory. In order to study the model, a mixed multi-parameter boundary value problem of the theory of analytic functions is formulated and solved using the Polubarinova-Kochina method. The structure and the characteristic features of the simulated process and the effect of all the determining physical parameters of the model on the nature of the flow are analyzed using the analytic dependences obtained and numerical calculations. An approximate hydraulic solution of the problem is compared with the exact solution obtained.
