ABSTRACT:

Periodic thermal loads in aquifers (e.g., injection wells for shallow open loop geothermal energy systems) produce periodic fluctuations of temperature fluctuations that propagate downstream from the well. The magnitude of the fluctuation attenuates with distance from the well, such that beyond a certain distance, the effect of the periodic component of the thermal load is negligible. This repository contains jupyter notebooks that can be used to evaluate analytical expressions of magnitude of temperature fluctuation as a function of distance from the well in one-dimensional and two-dimensional domains. The analytical solutions are derived in

Neupauer, R.M. and J. Okkonen, Analytical expressions for spatial attenuation of time-periodic heat sources in an aquifer, submitted to Journal of Hydrologic Engineering, May 2024.

ABSTRACT:

This resource contains input files for SUTRA simulations used to replicate the conceptual model of the Kuparuk aufeis field developed by Terry et al. (2020) and to investigate the sensitivity of the aufeis volume of various parameters. The results of the simulations are presented and discussed in Lainis, A., Neupauer, R.M., Koch, J.C., and Gooseff, M.N. (2024). Seasonal and decadal subsurface thaw dynamics of an aufeis feature investigated through numerical simulations, Hydrological Processes, https://doi.org/10.1002/hyp.15106.

ABSTRACT:

Sensitivity analysis requires the calculation of the sensitivity of a performance measure of model output to a model input. This repository contains two jupyter notebooks demonstrating the calculation of forward (using Green's functions) and adjoint sensitivities. Both examples are presented in

Neupauer, R.M., C. Turnadge, and J. Okkonen, Forward and adjoint modeling of sensitivities to periodic forcings in groundwater flow and transport, Mathematical Geosciences, http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11004-023-10074-w, 2023

Case 1 is a periodic thermal loading in a one-dimensional, homogeneous aquifer. Case 2 is stream depletion in a two-dimensional homogeneous aquifer.
