Radial Flow Theory

Radial Flow Theory describes how fluids, such as water or oil, move outward or inward in a circular pattern around a central point, like a well or a reservoir. Think of it like ripples spreading or contracting from a stone dropped into water. This theory models the flow in porous rocks or other materials, helping engineers understand and predict how fluids travel through underground formations. It’s useful for optimizing extraction, managing resources, and assessing reservoir behavior in fields like oil and groundwater management.
