\frac{\partial p_a}{\partial t} = \chi \cdot \left[ \frac{\partial^2 p_a}{\partial r^2} + \frac{1}{r}\cdot \frac{\partial p_a}{\partial r} \right]

Consider a pressure convolution:

alignmentleft
p_a(t, r) = p(0) + \int_0^t p_1 \left(\frac{(t-\tau) \cdot \chi_a}{r_e^2}, \frac{r}{r_e} \right) \dot p(\tau) d\tau

\dot p(\tau) = \frac{d p}{d \tau}



One can easily check that

and as such defines a unique solution of the above problem.

Water flowrate within
