The thermal performance of a slinky ground heat exchanger has been investigated using a validated transient 3D model for different trench separations, installation depths, soil properties, and daily operation hours. The effect of trench separation on... Read More about Numerical investigation into the thermal interference of slinky ground heat exchangers.

Heat transfer takes place simultaneously with moisture transfer in unsaturated soil and the transport processes interact with a ground heat exchanger (GHX) installed for a ground source heat pump. This paper presents a numerical methodology to produc... Read More about A numerical methodology for comprehensive assessment of the dynamic thermal performance of horizontal ground heat exchangers.
