Replacing the variable:
LaTeX Math Block |

\xi = \tau + \frac{r_e^2}{\chi} \cdot t_D \rightarrow t_D = \frac{(\xi-\tau)\chi}{r_e^2} \rightarrow d\xi = \frac{r_e^2}{\chi} \cdot dt_D |
and flux becomes:

is rather straightforward.

In modern computers the convolution is a fast fully-automated procedure and VEH model is considered as a reference in the range of analytical aquifer models.
Although the model is derived for linear and radial flow it also shows a good match for bottom-water drive depletions.
