Fast fluid and ground temperature computation for geothermal ground-loop heat exchanger systems

TLDR
In this paper, the hourly temperature computation can be seen as a convolution in the time domain that is most efficiently evaluated by fast Fourier transform (FFT) and an additional substantial reduction in computing time is obtained by subsampling the analytical function at a few selected times according to a geometric sequence and then using a good quality interpolant such as the cubic spline.

A semi-analytical method to generate g-functions for geothermal bore fields

TL;DR: In this article, a new methodology for the generation of thermal response factors of geothermal bore fields using the concept of g-functions introduced by Eskilson was introduced, where boreholes are divided into segments to consider the variation of the heat extraction rates along the length of the boreholes and the analytical finite line source (FLS) solution is used to calculate the temperature variations at the wall of each borehole segment along the axial direction.
