Advances in sinusoidal aquifer testing and analysis

Toll, Nathaniel J.; Rasmussen, Todd C.; Bakker, Mark

This paper presents a new method for the analysis of sinusoidal aquifer test data that extends current analytical techniques to include the analysis of pressure responses in multi-layer aquifers. The multi-layer sinusoidal solution is applied to data from a series of sinusoidal aquifer tests conducted in the two-layered Culebra dolomite at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad, NM. In addition to the multilayered solution, a summary of available sinusoidal solutions is provided along with tools to pre-process sinusoidal response data.
