Numerical Simulation and Parameter Analysis on Low-Temperature Geothermal System in Homogeneous Porous Medium

Article Preview

Abstract:

According to the mass and energy conservation principle of simulation program TOUGH2 used for non-isothermal multi-phase fluid and heat flow in porous and fractured media, the heat transport mathematical model of low-temperature shallow geothermal system is set up in homogeneous porous medium. The fundamental scientific issues on heat transfer characteristics and distribution of transient temperature field of heat exchange wells in summer is discussed in this paper. In addition, the significance and correlation between the changes of hydrogeology parameters and temperature field of the soil is analyzed. So as to the practical application of geothermal energy development can be guided by the achievements of the research.
