Seasonal thermal energy storage in aquifers: mathematical modeling studies in 1979

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5109588
During fiscal year 1979 (October 1978-September 1979) major LBL work involved the numerical modeling of the recently completed hot water storage field experiments at Auburn University. Work was also done, under separate funding, on the basic understanding of thermal stratification dispersion, and buoyancy flow in an aquifer used for hot or cold water storage. These questions are crucial in determining the efficiency of aquifer storage and will be discussed elsewhere. The results of the simulation of Auburn field experiments are summarized.
