Abstract
While the standing column wells are widely used in practice for its efficiency, the design parameters of the wells are difficult to select. In order to determine the design parameters of standing column well in Korea, parametric study was performed using a numerical model. The properties representative of Korea, including geothermal gradient, hydraulic conductivity, and thermal conductivity were selected and applied in the analyses. The results show that the numerical model can be successfully used in selection process of important design parameters.
