Problem 2 – Aqueous flow to a well in a confined multi-layer system

Abstract: This test case illustrates flow to a well in a confined multi-layer system, where two identical aquifers (upper and lower) are separated by an aquitard. The well produces only from the lower aquifer, where it is fully penetrating. This problem is known in the literature as the leaky aquifer problem. The user is introduced to a two-dimensional domain, a cylindrical coordinate system, and Neumann boundary conditions.
