Model Development and Numerical Simulation of a Seasonal Heat Storage in a Contaminated Shallow Aquifer

摘要: Abstract Seasonal heat storage in the shallow subsurface is gaining relevance due to increasing production of energy from renewable sources. This work presents model extensions code OpenGeoSys for simulating impacts storages on groundwater quality. Application non-isothermal demonstrated scenarios a TCE contaminated aquifer. Simulation results show slightly elevated emissions increases flow and solubility, but also contaminant biodegradation caused by widening plume. Further experimental modeling required quantitative assessment such complex systems process interactions.
