Abstract
⸠New borehole model was developed which accounted for inhomogeneous groundwater flow. ⸠The new model was validated using FLUENT with a uniform borehole specific load. ⸠Actual borehole specific load became stratified with inhomogeneous groundwater flow. ⸠The groundwater table affected the borehole thermal resistance. ⸠The use of an effective groundwater flow velocity could produce erroneous results.
