Development and validation of a full-time-scale semi-analytical model for the short- and long-term simulation of vertical geothermal bore fields

This paper presents the development and validation of a full-time-scale semi-analytical bore field simulation model. The model allows for the simulation of bore fields comprised of arbitrarily positioned boreholes while accounting for both short-term transient thermal effects within the boreholes and long-term thermal interactions in the bore field. The g-function of the bore field, obtained from the finite line source solution, is corrected to...
