Abstract
We compared the results from a 3-D finite-element numerical model with those of a simple analytical line-source solution and tested their sensitivity to the duration of the tests. The effects of heterogeneous subsurface conditions, groundwater movement, and variable data quality are presented. Comparison with measured data emphasizes the importance of using more sophisticated numerical methodologies in interpreting thermal response test data.
