FEFLOW Geothermal Training

This two-day training course gives an introduction to the numerical simulation of geothermal facilities using FEFLOW.

Both deep and shallow geothermics are studied by setting up specific modelling applications. Of particular importance for deep geothermics is the coupling of flow and transport processes via temperature and pressure dependency of fundamental process parameters such as fluid density and viscosity, and thermal conductivity. Furthermore the modelling of fracture flow is often an issue at stake.

An additional focus is near-surface geothermics, for instance the numerical modelling of single and arrays of borehole heat exchangers. These issues and their treatment in FEFLOW are explained.

Requirements: Experience in flow modelling with FEFLOW.
