This paper introduces a new methodology for the generation of thermal response factors of
geothermal bore fields using the concept of g-functions introduced by Eskilson. Boreholes …

Abstract Models of ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems are used as an aid for the
correct design and optimization of the system. For this purpose, it is necessary to develop …

Application of changes in temperature to soils and rocks may lead to a wide range of flow
processes and physical phenomena. This chapter focuses on the fundamental aspects of …

Although siting of thermal energy storage systems in the vadose zone may be beneficial due
to the low thermal conductivity of unsaturated soils, water phase change and vapor diffusion …

This paper investigates the applicability of numerical and semi-empirical heat flow models
for calculating average fluid temperatures in groups of quadratic, precast pile heat …

This paper presents an enhanced vertical ground heat exchanger (GHE) model for whole-
building energy simulation (WBES). WBES programs generally have computational …

Most theoretical models for the thermal response of vertical geothermal boreholes assume
the mean azimuthal borehole wall temperature to be constant along the borehole. This …

The composite medium infinite line source model (CMILS) was recently developed to
describe the heat transfer of borehole ground heat exchanges. But this model is very …

ABSTRACT A Ground Source Heat Pump system is a well-known technology used to
provide space heating and cooling in residential and commercial buildings. For large energy …
