Abstract

An equation of motion is presented in this paper, in which the variation of temperature is considered. Based on that, a new mathematical model of Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES) is then presented. The model is applied to simulate a multi-well ATES experiment which was performed in the second confined aquifer in Shanghai. The results show a better correspondence between the simulated and observed temperatures than that of our early work. This demonstrates that the presented motion equation is necessary and important in theory and practice. 1 Introduction In our previous study on the ATES experiments carried out in Shanghai, China/ we use conventional motion equation^ to calculate th
