Dear all.
I'm a new user of FEFLOW-5.4 for BHE modeling.
Basically I want to reconstruct a Thermal Response Test data set (evolution of temperature along time, for more or less 3 days), but I haven't managed yet to reconstruct the curve. The principle problem is related to reference temperature as far as it is controlling the inlet temperature. If I use a constant reference temperature I will never be able to have the profile of inlet temperature that I have in the real case.
(Ah, I've worked with a variable power, inserted in the "time varying functions" in BHE boundary condition and settled as the power rate for my BHE).
Then reading this forum I got to know about the BHE loop module, I'd installed it and had tried, without success, to put a temperature differential to the top node of the BHE following the tutorial (thinking that maybe the variable power was not working properly). No way, I couldn't make it. Probably I'm not doing the right procedure.
Anyone can help me? Anyone ever tried to reconstruct a real TRT curve?
Thanks a lot.
