Abstract
This paper presents a new analytical solution for the influence of regional groundwater flow on the performance of borehole heat exchangers. The solution concerns a vertical borehole. The transient thermal response for the fundamental case of a step-change in heat injection rate is given. The solution is remarkably simple and the formulas quite handy considering the complexity of the convective-diffusive heat flow process. The influence on the required borehole length for a ground-coupled heat pump is discussed.
