Description

GHE Analysis is an interactive software package that simplifies the design and optimization of ground-source heat pump systems with an easy-to-use interface. It provides tools to size irregular ground heat exchangers accurately and optimize the heat transfer efficiency of geothermal boreholes. Users can also evaluate seasonal performance coefficients to enhance the effectiveness of geothermal heat pumps. Drawing on over two decades of academic research, the software incorporates a robust simulation engine capable of quickly modeling the hourly response of GSHP systems. This feature enables detailed visualization of energy consumption and power demands for various equipment configurations. GHE Analysis assists engineers and designers in creating systems that balance performance with cost efficiency. Its intuitive design tools help reduce errors and improve project outcomes. The software is ideal for professionals looking to optimize sustainable heating and cooling solutions.

Description

LIGGGHTS is an open-source simulation software that employs the Discrete Element Method to model materials composed of particles, particularly emphasizing simulations related to industrial granules and heat transfer. The name LIGGGHTS reflects its foundation on LAMMPS, improved specifically to enhance simulations of general granular materials and their thermal dynamics, thereby broadening the reach of DEM into practical industrial scenarios. This tool is adept at simulating a variety of systems in which the behavior of materials arises from the dynamics, collisions, friction, cohesion, thermal exchange, and interactions among individual particles. It proves beneficial for studying an array of applications, including powders, grains, bulk solids, particulate flows, packed beds, conveyor systems, mixing operations, hopper discharges, and material handling, particularly in contexts where the behaviors at the particle level are significant. Currently, LIGGGHTS is embraced by numerous research institutions and commercial enterprises across the globe, valued for its open-source nature and the adaptability it offers in the simulation of particulate materials. Moreover, its versatility makes it an essential tool in advancing research and development in various fields related to granular systems.
