Abstract
In steady state condition, non-linear laminar flow of fluid into a well partially penetrating a porous aquifer of finite thickness is considered. The influence of such a flow on discharge and its dependence on related physical quantities are investigated. It is observed that the discharge into the well decreases as the depth of the well is decreased and the region of non-linear laminar flow is widened, which is quite obvious from physical considerations. As a particular case, result for a fully penetrating well has been deduced.
