Evaluation of Thermal Anomalies in Multi-Boreholes Field Considering the Effects of Groundwater Flow

In this paper, the performance of multiple boreholes (multi-BHEs) field is evaluated by considering the groundwater flow. Optimization strategies are presented to mitigate thermal anomalies in the BHEs field. This study shows that groundwater flow greatly improves the heat transfer but causes therma...
