Analytical model for arbitrarily configured neighboring shallow geothermal installations in the presence of groundwater flow

This paper introduces an analytical model analyzing the effect of groundwater flow on heat transfer in an infinite conductive-convective porous domain representing shallow geothermal systems with arbitrarily configured cylindrical heat sources. The model is formulated based on the moving source concept and solved based on the spectral...

Parameter identification algorithm for ground source heat pump systems

This paper presents a new parameter identification (PI) algorithm for estimating effective and detailed thermal parameters of ground source heat pump systems using data obtained from the well-known thermal response test. The PI comprises an iterative scheme coupling a semi-analytical forward model to an inverse model. The forward model is...

A spectral model for a moving cylindrical heat source in a conductive-convective domain

This paper introduces a spectral model for a moving cylindrical heat source in an infinite conductive-convective domain. This physical process occurs in many engineering and technological applications including heat conduction-convection in ground source heat pump systems, where the borehole heat exchangers likely go through layers with...
