This book is dedicated to the numerical modeling of shallow geothermal systems. The utilization of shallow geothermal energy involves the integration of multiple Borehole Heat Exchangers (BHE) with Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) systems to provide heating and cooling. The modeling practices explained in this book can improve the efficiency of these increasingly common systems. The book begins by explaining the basic theory of heat transport processes in man-made as well as natural media. . These techniques are then applied to the simulation of borehole heat exchangers and their interaction with the surrounding soil. The numerical and analytical models are verified against analytical solutions and measured data from a Thermal Response Test, and finally, a real test site is analyzed through the model and discussed with regard to BHE and GSHP system design and optimization.

"This book was intended principally for graduate students and applied scientists who deal with geothermal system analysis, according to the authors, and brilliantly fulfills this objective. Of course it is also an appreciated source of information for professional geoscientists wishing to improve their knowledge in the geothermal processes numerical modeling, including convection and conduction. ... Geoenergy Modeling II (Shallow Geothermal Systems) will be extremely valuable in supporting geothermal modeling training courses. Indeed it is a real knowledge transfer book."
