From Fourier to Darcy, from Carslaw to Theis: the analogies between the subsurface behaviour of water and heat
The analogy between the behaviour of groundwater in an aquifer and the conductive behaviour of heat in an aestifer is almost perfect. The development of groundwater flow theory has consistently drawn upon thermal analogues to find mathematical solutions: Darcy’s Law is analogous to Fourier’s. Charle...
