A computer simulation code was developed to estimate the temperatures in and around a geothermal well.
This code is employing explicit solution method to solve finite difference equations on transient heat transfer problems, and is applicable for three types of fluid flow in the wellbore; injection, production and circulation.
A water circulation test was performed in HY-2 Well located in Yakedake area, Gifu Prefecture, to get field data for the evaluation of the computer simulation code.
Comparisons of computed results were made with the exact solution and field data obtained. These results showed that this simulation code can simulate the temperature in and around the borehole satisfactorily.
