This book is dedicated to the numerical modeling of shallow geothermal systems. The utilization of shallow geothermal energy involves the integration of multiple Borehole Heat Exchangers (BHE) with Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) systems to provide heating and cooling. The modeling practices explained in this book can improve the efficiency of these increasingly common systems. The book begins by explaining the basic theory of heat transport processes in man-made as well as natural media. . These techniques are then applied to the simulation of borehole heat exchangers and their interaction with the surrounding soil. The numerical and analytical models are verified against analytical solutions and measured data from a Thermal Response Test, and finally, a real test site is analyzed through the model and discussed with regard to BHE and GSHP system design and optimization. 


Junior-Prof. Dr. Haibing Shao leads the work group Geothermal Systems Analysis ( https://webmail.springer-sbm.com/owa/redir.aspx?SURL=9Om38Sp3h39lFx5a1p_-9BUiz0RjHJ6aiZPHSVFMK5hk1t-eCX3UCGgAdAB0AHAAcwA6AC8ALwB3AHcAdwAuAHUAZgB6AC4AZABlAC8AaQBuAGQAZQB4AC4AcABoAHAAPwBlAG4APQAzADcANAA4ADIA&URL=https%3a%2f%2fwww.ufz.de%2findex.php%3fen%3d37482) in the Department of Environmental Informatics at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research - UFZ. He is also jointly appointed as a Junior Professor at the Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg. His research interests are the numerical modelling of coupled processes in shallow and deep geothermal reservoirs. As a senior developer, he has been working with the open-source scientific software OpenGeoSys (www.opengeosys.org) for more than 10 years. He studied environmental engineering at the Tongji University in Shanghai (China) and obtained his Master’s degree at the University of Tübingen. In 2010, he earned his PhD title from TU Dresden, and since then working as a staff scientist at the UFZ. 
Philipp Hein is at the time of publication
