This example demonstrates the use of the :doc:`g-function <../modules/gfunction>` module to calculate g-functions of fields of inclined boreholes using a boundary condition of uniform and equal borehole wall temperature for all boreholes. The total rate of heat extraction in the bore field is constant.
The following script generates the g-functions of two bore fields. The first field corresponds to the optimal configuration presented by Claesson and Eskilson [1]. The second field corresponds to the configuration comprised of 8 boreholes in a circle presented by the same authors.
The script is located in: pygfunction/examples/inclined_boreholes.py
