A closed-form solution for the horizontally aligned thermal-porous spheroidal inclusion in a half-space and its applications in geothermal reservoirs

The inclusion model for pore pressure and near surface localized heating may be of practical importance to many geological applications including geothermal reservoirs and volcanoes. In literature, the axisymmetric inclusion problems considering vertically placed spheroidal inclusions have been examined, while the complementary problems concerning horizontal spheroidal inclusion have not drawn much attention. The latter lacks axial symmetry, and...
