Abstract

This file is the setup file for GEO3D, a computer program written by Jim Menart to simulate vertical wells in conjunction with a heat pump for ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems. This is a very detailed three-dimensional computer model. This program produces detailed heat transfer and temperature field information for a vertical GSHP system.

GEO2D - Two-Dimensional Computer Model of a Ground Source Heat Pump System

Dataset Menart, James

This file contains a zipped file that contains many files required to run GEO2D. GEO2D is a computer code for simulating ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems in two-dimensions. GEO2D performs a detailed finite difference simulation of the heat transfer occurring within the working fluid, the tube wall, the grout, and the ground. Both horizontal and vertical wells can be simulated with this program, but it should be noted that the vertical wall is modeled as a single tube. This program also models the heat pump in conjunction with the heat transfer occurring. GEO2D simulates the heat pump and groundmore »« less
Ground Source Heat Pump Computational Results

Dataset Menart, James

This data submission includes simulation results for ground loop heat pump systems located in 6 different cities across the United States. The cities are Boston, MA, Dayton, OH, Omaha, NE, Orlando, FL, Sacramento, CA, and St. Paul, MN. These results were obtained from the two-dimensional geothermal computer code called GEO2D. GEO2D was written as part of this DOE funded grant. The results included in this submission for each of the 6 cities listed above are: 1) specific information on the building being heated or cooled by the ground loop geothermal system, 2) some extreme values for the building heating andmore »« less
Ground Source Heat Pump Screening Tool and Related Resources

Dataset Liu, Xiaobing ; Anand, Jyothis

This archive contains both a link to Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) Screening Tool and related resources documenting its development, technical features, and applications. The web-based screening tool is a techno-economic analysis resource designed to evaluate the feasibility, costs, and benefits of implementing GSHP systems in buildings across various U.S. climate zones. It is intended for use by building owners, HVAC system designers, and installers to support decision-making in residential and commercial applications, incorporating advanced modeling capabilities such as ground heat exchanger design. The included resources detail the tool's creation and use, covering topics such asmore »« less
Three Dimensional Thermal Model of Newberry Volcano, Oregon

Dataset Frone, Zachary ; Cladouhos, Trenton

Final results of a 3D finite difference thermal model of Newberry Volcano, Oregon. Model data are formatted as a text file with four data columns (X, Y, Z, T). X and Y coordinates are in UTM (NAD83 Zone 10N), Z is elevation from mean sea level (meters), T is temperature in deg C. Model is 40km X 40km X 12.5 km, grid node spacing is 100m in X, Y, and Z directions. A symmetric cylinder shaped magmatic heat source centered on the present day caldera is the modeled heat source. The center of the modeled body is a -1700 mmore »« less
G-Function Library for Modeling Vertical Bore Ground Heat Exchanger

Dataset West, Timothy ; Cook, Jack ; Spitler, Jeffrey ; ...

This library contains g-functions (thermal response functions) for standard, regularly spaced vertical borehole ground heat exchangers. In total, it contains 34, 321 configurations. To permit interpolation, each configuration has g-functions for heights of 24, 48, 96, 192, and 384 m. All the g-functions were calculated with burial depths of 2m, and borehole diameters of 15 to 17.5 cm, depending on height. In configurations with uniform spacing, the spacing between the boreholes is set to 5m, though it can be scaled to other horizontal spacings.
