Collecting, we obtain the real domain solutions for the finite-acting reservoir case for a bounded circular reservoir constant
pressure at the outer boundary

Infinite-Acting Reservoir term

Reservoir Shape effects term

8.10 Bounded circular reservoir prescribed flux at the outer boundary

Similar to no-flow boundary case, we cannot invert the solution Eq. 8.130 for this case, so we will attempt an approximate
solution of the line source form Eq. 8.132
Recalling Eq. 8.132

We define the last term as

The first two term is the same as no-flow boundary case we can invert it like what we did in Problem 8.8

+ Eq. 8.164
The last term is very complicated but we will try to invert it
We will simplify the knowing that this could lead to an unreasonable answer, using Eq.
