modelBorefield

Example model of single u-tube borefield with ground responses calculated by TOUGH simulation

Extends from Modelica.Icons.Example (Icon for runnable examples).

Information

This example shows the borefield ground thermal response that is modeled by the TOUGH simulator. However in this example, the dummy function def tough_avatar(heatFlux, T_out, nInt) is used to imitate the ground response of the TOUGH simulator.

Note that the dummy function cannot run the ground modeling as TOUGH. It assumes that the response temperature increases by 0.1 K every time when invoking the Python interface. It is created to show the coupling workflow.
