Computational Modeling of Shallow Geothermal Systems (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Geothermal heat is a viable source of energy and its environmental impact in terms of CO2 emissions is significantly lower than conventional fossil fuels. Shallow geothermal systems are increasingly utilized for heating and cooling of buildings and greenhouses. However, their utilization is inconsistent with the enormous amount of energy available underneath the surface of the earth. Projects of this nature are not getting the public support they deserve. For this energy field to have a better competitive position in the renewable energy market, it is vital that engineers acquire computational tools, which are accurate, versatile and efficient. This book aims at attaining such tools.

Autor

Rafid Al-Khoury is a Senior researcher in computational mechanics in the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences at Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands. His main area of interest is in computational mechanics with emphasis on computational geoenvironment. In particular, he is a developer of analytical, semi-analytical and numerical models for wave propagation in layered systems, multiphase flow and heat and fluid flow in shallow geothermal systems. The main focus of his research work is the development of innovative models and efficient computational procedures capable of simulating physical processes occurring in complicated geometry using minimal computational efforts. Along this line, Dr. Al-Khoury has published several models for different fields of computational mechanics, including wave propagation, parameter identification, fracturing porous media, and geothermics.
