Information

This model computes the different thermal resistances present in a single-U-tube borehole using the method of Bauer et al. (2011). It also computes the fluid-to-ground thermal resistance R_b and the grout-to-grout thermal resistance R_a as defined by Claesson and Hellstrom (2011) using the multipole method.

Revisions

• November 22, 2023, by Michael Wetter:
  Corrected use of getInstanceName() which was called inside a function which is not allowed.
  This is for IBPSA, #1814.
• February 7, 2022, by Michael Wetter:
  Changed function to be pure.
  This is for IBPSA, #1582.
• December 11, 2021, by Michael Wetter:
  Added impure declaration for MSL 4.0.0.
• July 18, 2018 by Massimo Cimmino:
  Implemented multipole method.
• February 14, 2014 by Michael Wetter:
  Added an assert statement to test for non-physical values.
• February 12, 2014, by Damien Picard:
  Remove the flow dependency of the resistances, as this function calculates the conduction resistances only.
• January 24, 2014, by Michael Wetter:
  Revised implementation.
• January 23, 2014, by Damien Picard:
  First implementation.
