The following schematic illustrates the Hvorslev Case C:



The well screen fully penetrates the aquifer.


Super Slug will assume Case C when any of the following conditions are true:


1. The ratio of horizontal conductivity to vertical conductivity of the aquifer has not been entered.

or 

2. Neither Case A or Case B is applicable.


Hvorslev shape factor for case C is calculated by the formula:



In the formula to calculate the shape factor for Case C, an estimate of the radius of influence of the test is required. The radius of influence is not normally known before the test. Super Slug assumes that the radius of influence is equal to the length of the well screen.
