Method for calculation of ground temperature in scenario involving multiple ground heat exchangers considering groundwater advection

摘要

The calculation of the ground temperature considering groundwater advection is one of the most noteworthy challenges for the simulation and design of a shallow geothermal system. This paper proposes a new method to calculate the temperature considering the groundwater advection in a scenario involving multiple ground heat exchangers and the time-variable heat flux condition. The superposition principle of the moving infinite cylindrical source solution and the moving infinite line source solution was applied in combination. Furthermore, a regression analysis was performed for various numerical calculation results obtained using a moving infinite cylindrical source model, and a simple and fast calculation solution for the problem was established. The proposed method demonstrated a maximum error of 0.0879 for the dimensionless temperature compared with the numerical calculation result. (c) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
