Effect of buried depth on thermal performance of a vertical U-tube underground heat exchanger

Many researchers numerically investigated U-tube underground heat exchanger using a two-dimensional simplified pipe. However, a simplified model results in large errors compared to the data from construction sites. This research is carried out using a three-dimensional full-size model. A model valid...
