Analytical Solutions for Unsteady Groundwater Flow in an Unconfined Aquifer under Complex Boundary Conditions
The response laws of groundwater dynamics on the riverbank to river level variations are highly dependent on the river level fluctuation process. Analytical solutions are widely used to infer the groundwater flow behavior. In analytical calculations, the river level variation is usually generalized as instantaneous uplift or stepped, and then the analytical solution of the unsteady groundwater flow in the aquifer is derived. However, the river level generally presents a complex, non-linear, continuous change, which is different from the commonly used assumptions in groundwater theoretical calculations. In this article, we propose a piecewise-linear approximation to describe the river level fluctuation. Based on the conceptual model of the riverbank aquifer system, an analytical solution of unsteady groundwater flow in an unconfined aquifer under complex boundary conditions is derived. Taking the Xiluodu Hydropower Station as an example, firstly, the monitoring data of the river level during the period of non-impoundment in the study area are used to predict the groundwater dynamics with piecewise-linear and piecewise-constant step approximations, respectively, and the long-term observation data are used to verify the calculation accuracy for the different mathematical models mentioned above. During the reservoir impoundment period, the piecewise-linear approximation is applied to represent the reservoir water level variation, and to predict the groundwater dynamics of the reservoir bank.
