velocity of 1430 oven-dry rock samples from clastic sedimentary (sandstone, arkose …

The downhole heat exchanger (DHE) geothermal system is commonly used to exploit
geothermal energy for space heating. In this paper, a 3D unsteady state numerical model is …

The performance of a Ground Water Heat Pump (GWHP) is often impaired by the thermal
recycling between the injection and the extraction well (s), and hence this phenomenon …

The use of ground-source heat pump system has been widely adopted over the past
decades due to its potentials to provide renewable and low carbon footprint energy source …

Through field and numerical studies, this paper describes the importance of thermal
dispersivity in designing groundwater heat pump (GWHP) systems. A push–pull test using …

Studies on shallow geothermal applications have demonstrated that mechanical thermal
dispersion is an important heat transport mechanism in saturated porous media. However …

An important issue in the numerical simulation of geothermal reservoirs is the problem of
