Excerpt

Hydrogeology plays an important role in the transfer of heat in geological systems. Large-scale variations in the permeability distribution (including the presence of fracture zones and faults) can significantly impact the coupled flow of heat and fluid (Smith and Chapman 1983). At the regional scale, groundwater flow can alter the heat distribution, depressing or enhancing thermal gradients in space and time, and carry heat over significant distances (Smith and Chapman 1983; Woodbury and Smith 1985; Molina-Giraldo et al. 2011). At smaller scales, groundwater flow can present challenges to the proper design of geo-exchange systems and can limit the success of aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) and borehole thermal energy storage (BTES) systems (e.g. Sauty et al. 1982a, b). …
