modelInternalResistancesOneUTube

Internal resistance model for single U-tube borehole segments.

Extends from IBPSA.Fluid.Geothermal.Borefields.BaseClasses.Boreholes.BaseClasses.PartialInternalResistances.

Information

This model simulates the internal thermal resistance network of a borehole segment in the case of a single U-tube borehole using the method of Bauer et al. (2011) and computing explicitely the fluid-to-ground thermal resistance Rb and the grout-to-grout resistance Ra as defined by Claesson and Hellstrom (2011) using the multipole method.
