Modeling of Stockton University Geothermal System Using COMSOL Multiphysics® and the Subsurface Flow Module
Published in 2015
Stockton University has one of the largest closed loop geothermal system in North America. It provides heating and cooling for the university academic facilities. The well field comprises of a grid of four hundred wells bored to a depth of 130m. The ground is composed of three aquifers of saturated sand sandwiched between confining beds and transition layers of sand and clay. The purpose of this work is to model the temperature variations in the ground. The model is using the COMSOL Multiphysics® Subsurface Flow Module to model the heat transfer in the porous media with Darcy’s law to model the underground water flow in the aquifers.
