Information

This model simulates the internal thermal resistance network of a borehole segment in the case of a double U-tube borehole using the method of Bauer et al. (2011) and computing explicitely the fluid-to-ground thermal resistance R_b and the grout-to-grout resistance R_a as defined by Claesson and Hellstrom (2011) using the multipole method.
