Right now, GHEtool ignores the internal capacity of the borehole, by making use of the equivalent borehole thermal resistance. This short-term effects however, can play an important role in some cases.

A resistance-capacitance model can be implemented like the one from (Minaei and Maerefat, 2017).

A first short-term effect (cylindrical correction) was added in issue #187

@wouterpeere wouterpeere added this to the v2.3.0 milestone Jun 6, 2024

Validation will done on two levels

Next steps should focus on the following improvements:

  • Develop a more general method for determining the far field radius that is applicable to non-rectangular shapes.
  • Calculate the fluid factor based on the borehole configuration.
  • Extend the numerical model to be able to handle double u-tubes

The sensitivity analysis should consider the following parameters:

  • Borehole spacing
  • The num_intervals parameter in the numerical model
  • Time step used in numerical model
