Isobar Propagation

Isobar equation for a constant-rate production:

LaTeX Math Block
anchorQ7VZX
alignmentleft
p(t,r) = p_i + \frac{q_t}{4 \pi \sigma} \,  F \bigg( - \frac{r^2}{4 \chi t} \bigg) = {\rm const} \quad \rightarrow \quad \frac{r^2}{4 \chi t}= {\rm const} 


Since the pressure disturbance at

bodyt=0
 moment was at well walls

bodyr=r_w
 then the formula for constant-pressure front propagation becomes:

LaTeX Math Block
anchorH09BI
alignmentleft
r(t) = r_w + 2 \sqrt{\chi t}

This leads to estimation of isobar velocity:

u_p(t) = \sqrt{\frac{\chi}{t}}
