Hantush#

class Hantush(use_numba=False, quad=False)[source]#

The Hantush well function, using the standard A, a, b parameters.

Parameters

up (bool or None, optional) – indicates whether a positive stress will cause the head to go up (True, default) or down (False), if None the head can go both ways.
meanstress (float) – mean value of the stress, used to set the initial value such that the final step times the mean stress equals 1
cutoff (float) – proportion after which the step function is cut off. default is 0.999.

Notes

The impulse response function is:

\[\theta(t) = \frac{A}{2t \text{K}_0\left(2\sqrt{b} \right)} \exp(-t/a - ab/t)\]

where A, a, and b are parameters.

The implementation used here is explained in Veling and Maas (2010).
