Bore field from text file

[MassimoCimmino]

Add the option to define a bore field from an external text file, having the following structure:

# x   y     H     D     rb
0.    0.    100.  2.5   0.075
5.    0.    100.  2.5   0.075
0.    5.    100.  2.5   0.075
0.    10.   100.  2.5   0.075
0.    20.   100.  2.5   0.075

TODO:

• Implement function boreholes.field_from_file()
• Implement example
• Add documentation

Hello @MassimoCimmino please is the H variable just the HORIZONTAL borehole length or do I have to factor in the buried depth (vertical U-tube) in the H value as well?

Hi @okolodaniel.

H is the active vertical length of the borehole, which means the borehole transfers heat from a depth z = D to a depth z = D + H.
