Abstract:It is critical to precisely determine the performance of deep-buried ground heat exchangers involving different geological layers in engineering projects of the geothermal energy utilization. Compared to the existing approaches solving only conduction between the ground heat exchanger and the surrounding ground based on the two-dimensional model, this paper established a three-dimensional full-scale coaxial ground heat exchanger model containing both aquifer and aquifuge layers involving groundwater effect.
