Geothermal exchangers are exploited as tools for the indirect analysis of the thermal properties of the underground material. Two simple inverse problems based on different heat transfer models are proposed: the first one is based on the cylindrical model of heat transfer and yields the thermal parameters of the borehole, the second one is based on a forced convective model and yields the soil thermal profile. We test our approach on sets of data collected by direct numerical simulation and from a real experiment.

Abstract

Geothermal exchangers are exploited as tools for the indirect analysis of the thermal properties of the underground material. Two simple inverse problems based on different heat transfer models are proposed: the first one is based on the cylindrical model of heat transfer and yields the thermal parameters of the borehole, the second one is based on a forced convective model and yields the soil thermal profile. We test our approach on sets of data collected by direct numerical simulation and from a real experiment.
