Applied Mathematical PhysicsOne research group at the department has since 1977 dealt with thermal analyses of different types of ground heat systems. The ground heat systems consist of systems for storing and retrieving heat in the ground, as well as systems used mainly for extraction of ground heat. The thermohydraulic processes in the ground are governed by coupled partial differential equations, which are solved by means of analytical and numerical methods. Several computer programs have been developed that deal with all aspects of the thermal processes, from fundamental particular processes to detailed three-dimensional simulation models with arbitrary time-dependent loading conditions. Other problems that involve similar equations are also studied, e.g., groundwater movement around a nuclear waste repository and convective heat and moisture transport in building materials.
