Ground source heat pump (GSHP) is a new type technology for the use of the superficial layer energy. According to the law of conversation of energy and the law of conversation of mass
the equation of heat transfer
the equation of seepage
the equation of continuity and the constitutive equation of thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) are established respectively. The whole displacement and deformation diagram of single-well and the failure criterion are obtained through simulating the flow zone with software COMSOL. The results indicate that: (1) The pressure gradient increases with elevated distance from the well
and trends to a steady value eventually. (2) The goodness of fit is good by comparing the result obtained from the heat transfer model and actual engineering measurement
which shows the reasonability and validity of the thermo-hydro-mechanical coupling model.
