Estimation of Parameters Distribution in Geothermal Reservoir Using Finite Difference Method

摘要

Currently geothermal energy is well known as a renewable and clean energy. The first step to predict the potential of geothermal energy can be estimated by modeling, among others physical and numerical simulation. In this study, we have simulated the geothermal reservoir using different parameters e.g. fluid permeability, porosity and temperature. Mathematical modeling in this simulation is based on Darcy's law, mass balance and energy balance. The model is calculated using finite difference method. Results of the calculation are obtained in form of distribution of temperature, pressure, enthalpy and direction of fluid flow.
