The reason to the results difference is due to the different power boundary condition type adopted in the two software. In FEFLOW the power boundary condtion is based on the outlet temperature calculated from the last time step (non-iterative). Compared to it, the default power boundary condition adopted in the OGS `Heat_Transport_BHE` process is based on the outlet temperature calculated from the current time step (with-iterative). Besides, by setting python bindings, the current OGS `Heat_Transport_BHE` process is capable to adopt the power boundary condition type used in the FEFLOW software. -In this way, the computed vertical distributed circulating fluid temperature difference between the OGS and FEFLOW models is becoming much closer to each other. +In this way, the computed vertical distributed circulating fluid temperature is updated to the black and red solid line illustrated in the figure 3. +It shows that in this case, the difference between the OGS and FEFLOW models is becoming much closer to each other, which is about 0.037 $^{\circ}$C. {{< img src="../3D_2U_BHE_figures/vertical_temperature_distribution_powerBC.png" width="200">}} -Figure 3: Comparison of vertical temperature distribution from scenario by adopting the power boundary condition +Figure 3: Comparison of vertical temperature distribution from scenarios by adopting the power boundary conditions ## References diff --git a/web/content/docs/benchmarks/heat-transport-bhe/3D_2U_BHE_figures/vertical_temperature_distribution_powerBC.png b/web/content/docs/benchmarks/heat-transport-bhe/3D_2U_BHE_figures/vertical_temperature_distribution_powerBC.png index fb365219aad9fd0345e720be395df8694a3e5052..1d1f2bc34b85fec755072784a6c932da26e8dd8b 100644 Binary files a/web/content/docs/benchmarks/heat-transport-bhe/3D_2U_BHE_figures/vertical_temperature_distribution_powerBC.png and b/web/content/docs/benchmarks/heat-transport-bhe/3D_2U_BHE_figures/vertical_temperature_distribution_powerBC.png differ
