Ph.D. thesis (2015)
Abstract
The modeling of standing column well geothermal systems is a strongly coupled nonlinear problem that requires both the determination of thermal and hydraulic responses of a geological environment with time-varying boundary conditions. The modeling of such system can be tedious and demanding in terms of computing power, and can lead to impractical calculation times. The overall aim of the thesis is to develop a fast and efficient numerical model of a standing column well incorporating advection-diffusion of heat and groundwater flow in fractured geological media."
