This example demonstrates the use of the :doc:`g-function <../modules/gfunction>` module to calculate g-functions 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 rectangular fields of 3 x 2, 6 x 4 and 10 x 10 boreholes. g-Functions are verified against the g-functions presented by Cimmino and Bernier [1].
The script is located in: pygfunction/examples/uniform_temperature.py
