A New Method and Applications of the Boundary Value Problem of Differential Equation

Abstract

The similar structure of solution for the boundary value problem of second order linear homogeneous differential equation has been studied. Based on the analysis of the relationship between similar structure of solution, its kernel function, the equation and boundary conditions, similar constructive method (shortened as SCM) of solution is obtained. According to the SCM, the similar structure of solution and its kernel function are constructed for the mathematical model of homogeneous reservoir which considers the influence of bottom-hole storage and skin effect under the infinite outer boundary condition. The SCM is a new and innovative way to solve boundary value problem of differential equation and seepage flow theory, which is especially used in Petroleum Engineering.
