This model simulates a borefield containing one or multiple boreholes
using the parameters in the borFieDat
record.
Heat transfer to the soil is modeled using only one borehole heat exchanger (To be added in an extended model). The fluid mass flow rate into the borehole is divided to reflect the per-borehole fluid mass flow rate. The borehole model calculates the dynamics within the borehole itself using an axial discretization and a resistance-capacitance network for the internal thermal resistances between the individual pipes and between each pipe and the borehole wall.
The thermal interaction between the borehole wall and the surrounding soil is modeled using IBPSA.Fluid.Geothermal.Borefields.BaseClasses.HeatTransfer.GroundTemperatureResponse, which uses a cell-shifting load aggregation technique to calculate the borehole wall temperature after calculating and/or read (from a previous calculation) the borefield's thermal response factor.
