NOTE 4
Superposition
Principle of Superposition
• If Φ1 = Φ1 (x, y, z, t) and Φ2 = Φ2 (x, y,
z, t) are two general solutions of a
homogenous linear partial differential
equation L(Φ) = 0, then any linear
combination Φ = C1 Φ1 + C1 Φ2 where
C1, C2 are constants is also a solution
of L(Φ) = 0.
• Applications: multiple well systems,
non-steady pumpage, boundary
problems
