can FEFLOW simulate heat transport of about water source heat pump system?

how to design the temperature of water in an inject well?

Generally speaking, the answer to your first question is 'yes'. For discussing details, we'd need some more information.

For example, in a groundwater-source heat pump system, we know the temperature of water in an inject well is 12??how to deal with it in FEFLOW's model.

In this case, I'd simply set a fixed temperature to the injection node (1st kind boundary condition for heat transport).

Sometime the injection flux changes the temperature of water production well by time variation. Can I simulate this new conditions? (the temperature of production flux might be dependent by well injection temperature and the new temperature of well injection will depend by the new temperature of well production :o).

Solution: there are a module named "simpleOpenLoop" in Service & Support » Solutions & Extensions » Existing IFM Modules.
