For 2U-type BHE configuration, the flow rate in < flow_and_temperature_control > indicates the flow rate within each U-pipe.
When a fixed power or power curve is imposed on a 2U-type BHE, the given value in < flow_and_temperature_control > or in the related power curve should be speficed with half of the user's presumed entire borehole exchanger power.
### < grout >
The thermal properties of the grout material is defined here.
* /density/: density of grout which has the unit of $\mathrm{kg/m^{3}}$;
* /porosity/: porosity of grout which is dimensionless;
* /heat_capacity/: heat capacaity of grout which has the unit of $\mathrm{J·kg^{-1} K^{-1}}$;
* /specific_heat_capacity/: specific heat capacity of grout which has the unit of $\mathrm{J·kg^{-1} K^{-1}}$;
* /thermal_conductivity/: thermal conductivity of grout which has the unit of $\mathrm{W·m^{-1} K^{-1}}$.
Here is an example how the typical parameters of borehole grout looks like.
