Borehole Heat Exchanger with Pipe Flow

A new model, Borehole Heat Exchanger with Pipe Flow, demonstrates how to compute an array of borehole heat exchangers (BHEs) for shallow geothermal energy production. The BHEs are represented as simplified line elements using the Nonisothermal Pipe Flow interface, and the array is embedded in a layered subsurface model that includes groundwater flow in one of the layers.
