A Step-by-step Guide to Developing Innovative Computational Tools
for Shallow Geothermal SystemsGeothermal heat is a viable source of
energy and its environmental impact in terms of CO2 emissions is
significantly lower than conventional fossil fuels. Shallow
geothermal systems are increasingly utilized for heating and
cooling of buildings and greenhouses. However, their utilization is
inconsistent with the enormous amount of energy available
underneath the surface of the earth. Projects of this nature are
not getting the public support they deserve because of the
uncertainties associated with them, and this can primarily be
attributed to the lack of appropriate computational tools necessary
to carry out effective designs and analyses. For this energy field
to have a better competitive position in the renewable energy
market, it is vital that engineers acquire computational tools,
which are accurate, versatile and efficient. This book aims at
attaining such tools. This book addresses computational modeling of
shallow geothermal systems in considerable detail, and provides
researchers and developers in computational mechanics, geosciences,
geology and geothermal engineering with the means to develop
computational tools capable of modeling the complicated nature of
heat flow in shallow geothermal systems in rather straightforward
methodologies. Coupled conduction-convection models for heat flow
in borehole heat exchangers and the surrounding soil mass are
formulated and solved using analytical, semi-analytical and
numerical methods. Background theories, enhanced by numerical
examples, necessary for formulating the models and conducting the
solutions are thoroughly addressed. The book emphasizes two main
aspects: mathematical modeling and computational procedures. In
geothermics, both aspects are considerably challenging because of
the involved geometry and physical processes. However, they are
highly stimulating and inspiring. A good combination of
mathematical modeling and computational procedures can greatly
reduce the computational efforts. This book thoroughly treats this
issue and introduces step-by-step methodologies for developing
innovative computational models, which are both rigorous and
computationally efficient.
