Abstract

The purpose of this study is to use the CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) method for the ground source heat pump(GSHP) system with vertical U-tube ground heat exchangers. In order to predict LWT(leaving water temperature) in the length of time, This simulation is used by utilizing FLUENT which is commercial CFD code. It was performed by based on four boreholes in the field. Comparing with the results of CFD and field measurement for LWT, the results of CFD was presented very good agreement with 1.0% average difference.
