The storage of surplus heat in the underground and retrieval when required is a promising method for optimizing the energy efficiency of new housing estates. A new approach for the coupled numerical modelling of such problems will be presented. Here, the energy simulation software TRNSYS is directly coupled with the finite element subsurface flow and transport simulation software FEFLOW. This w...

Predicting and characterising groundwater flow solute transport in engineering hydrogeological applications, such as dimensioning tracer experiments, rely primarily on numerical modelling techniques. During software selection for modelling, the accuracy of results, financial costs simulation software, computational resources should be considered. This study evaluates approaches outlines advanta...

Geothermics has an increasing importance to energy supplies worldwide. Thus, there is also an increasing need to numerically model different geothermal scenarios. Depending on the type of problem, it may be necessary to take density coupled processes into account. Further, the thermal dependence of material properties should be considered. Special problems occur in the case of fractured flow, w...

a r t i c l e i n f o Land has been reclaimed along the coastal areas in many parts of the world to meet the growing demand for houses and other land use. Over 15 km 2 of land has been reclaimed around the Shekou peninsula, Shenzhen, China. Land reclamation may have significant influences on groundwater systems but this problem has not been adequately studied. Using FEFLOW (Diersch, 2005), a th...

Coastal areas are usually the preferred place of habitation for human beings. Anthropogenic activities such as the construction of high-rise buildings and underground transport systems usually require extensive deep foundations and ground engineering works, which may unintentionally modify the coastal groundwater system because the construction materials of foundations are usually of low hydrau...
