How does the van Everdingen-Hurst method typically apply to geothermal reservoir simulation when dealing with a limited aquifer?

The van Everdingen-Hurst method, also known as the radial composite model, is used in geothermal reservoir simulation to model the water influx from an aquifer (a water-bearing underground layer of rock or sediment) into a geothermal reservoir. It's especially relevant when the aquifer is limited, meaning its size and ability to supply water are not infinite. In this scenario, the aquifer's pressure declines as it provides water to the geothermal reservoir due to production. The method represents the aquifer as a series of concentric rings or regions with....
