Embodiments of the disclosed technology comprise a general method and device for designing a nearly unlimited range of return flow fluid dynamics systems. Additionally, it allows an improved method for designing GHX (ground heat exchange) field designs. An entire piping system can be developed from two components: a load circuit with multiple optional fittings, and a supply/return Pipe Pair with a multiple optional fittings on each pipe. These units can be linked together in the computer interface workspace, emblematic of a three dimensional GHX field design. As a designer links these components together, the piping system expands in size and complexity. Regardless of the complexity of the designed system, the embodiments of the disclosed technology determine the relationship between individual components, families of components and the overall GHX field. A diverse range of fluid dynamics results and an automatic sizing system is developed in embodiments of the disclosed technology. |
