[TRNSYS-users] [TRNSYS users] Type 997 modification (Horizontal Field Ground Heat Exchanger)

[Jeff Thornton]

Jakub, 

As the author of Type997, I can tell you that the model most certainly
does NOT use 1/4 symmetry. There's no way to apply the symmetry as the
fluid changes temperature along the entire length axis and across the
entire width and depth of the piping array. That's why Type997 takes
both the left and right, and both the front and back, parameters
(insulation extension, far-field boundary etc.). If it was 1/4 symmetry
it would need only one of front/back or left/right. Why don't you send a
sketch showing what you'd like to model and we can see if 997 is the
right model. We have other more generic models that can handle a wider
range of geometries.

By deafult in order to reduce calculation cost the model is symmetrical in both x and y axis so that only quarter of domain is calculated. That is why the user can provide insulation on all four bounding surfaces or none. If there is a way to 'turn off' the symmetry in FORTRAN code and apply the boundary conditions on particular bounding surfaces it will be all I need.
