There is a large number of various pressure diffusion models.

The popular classifications are summarized below:

Number of phases	Number of wells	Equation Linearity	Computation Sceme	Spatial dimension
Single-phase	Single-well	Linear	Analytical	0D
Multi-phase	Multi-well	Pseudo-Linear	Numerical	1D
		Non-Linear		2D
				3D

The usual combination are:

Linear Analytical 1D	Pseudo-Linear Analytical 1D	Non-Linear Numerical 2D/3D
Single-phase Linear Analytical 1D	Single-phase Pseudo-Linear Analytical 1D	Single-phase Non-Linear Numerical 1D/2D/3D
Multi-phase Linear Analytical 1D	Multi-phase Pseudo-Linear Analytical 1D	Multi-phase Non-Linear Numerical 1D/2D/3D

In many practical cases a pressure diffusion process is honouring some PDE with constant coefficients availing a number of very efficient computational and diagnostic techniques:

Time Convolution	Spatial Superposition
Pressure convolution model	Pressure superposition model
Pressure deconvolution model	Pressure decomposition model

In some cases a pressure diffusion process can be fairly approximated by a hybrid model based on PDE with constant coefficients and PseudoPressure and PseudoTime.

There is a number of specific pressure diffusion models which represent the key practical scenarios of pressure diffusion and play important academical and practical role:

	Transient flow	Steady-State (SS) flow	Pseudo-Steady State (PSS) flow
Radial flow	Radial Flow Pressure Diffusion @model	Steady State Radial Flow Pressure Diffusion @model	Pseudo-Steady State Radial Flow Pressure Diffusion @model
Linear flow	Linear Flow Pressure Diffusion @model	Steady State Linear Pressure Diffusion @model	Pseudo-Steady State Linear Pressure Diffusion @model
