Many geological characterization projects have included the reconstruction of quantitative three-dimensional (3D) representations of suitable outcrops, called digital outcrop models (DOMs Bellian, 2005) or virtual outcrops ( McCaffrey et al., 2005). In order to explore the uncertainty associated with the 3D model of irregularly shaped dolostone bodies, three different 3D dolostone geobody realizations have been modeled, providing a minimum, intermediate, and maximum estimate of the dolostone/limestone volumetric facies ratio, while honoring the field constraints. The DOM study highlighted the close relationship between faults and dolostone geobodies, demonstrating that dolomitization was guided by fluid infiltration along Mesozoic normal faults. Interpretation and modeling performed on this data set include (1) georeferencing of structural measurements and sampling stations (2) tracing of stratigraphic boundaries, structural surfaces, and dolomitization fronts (ground-truthed) (3) correlation and extrapolation of realistic 3D surfaces from these traces and (4) development of a 3D geological model at the scale of the Vajont Gorge, including stratigraphy, faults, dolomitization fronts, and volumetric meshes suitable for the statistical analysis of structural, diagenetic, and geochemical parameters. For this study we used a DOM (730 m × 360 m × 270 m) consisting of continuous triangulated surfaces representing the outcrop, textured with high-resolution images. A 3D DOM study, based on a photogrammetric SFM data set, was carried out, aimed at enabling interdisciplinary characterization and reconstruction of coupled brittle deformation and fluid flow processes. Some of these faults acted as conduits for fluids, resulting in structurally controlled dolomitization. The Vajont Gorge (Belluno Dolomites, Italy) provides spectacular outcrops of jurassic limestones (Vajont Limestone Formation) in which mesozoic faults and fracture corridors are continuously exposed. The quality of photogrammetric data sets obtained with structure from motion (SFM) techniques has shown a tremendous improvement over the past few years, and this is becoming one of the more effective ways to collect DOM data sets. The main advantages of photogrammetry over LIDAR are represented by the very simple and lightweight field equipment (a digital camera), and by the arbitrary spatial resolution, that can be increased simply getting closer to the outcrop or by using a different lens.

If this program is not available on your computer you can download the program MCRInstaller.exe, the 64 bit version, from the MATLAB website or from the Geothermal Data Repository.Different remote sensing technologies, including photogrammetry and LIDAR (light detection and ranging), allow collecting three-dimensional (3D) data sets that can be used to create 3D digital representations of outcrop surfaces, called digital outcrop models (DOM). In order to run GEO2D access to MATLAB is required. These make entering data simple and they produce many plotted results that are easy to understand. GEO2D is a user friendly program that uses a graphical user interface for inputs and outputs. This is a great convenience for the user because heating and cooling loads are an input to GEO2D.
#Geo3d matlab software#
The version of GEO2D in the attached file has been coupled to the DOE heating and cooling load software called ENERGYPLUS. On top of this information from an economic comparison between the geothermal system simulated and a comparable air heat pump systems or a comparable gas, oil or propane heating systems with a vapor compression air conditioner.

Many results are produced by GEO2D as a function of time and position, such as heat transfer rates, temperatures and heat pump performance. GEO2D simulates the heat pump and ground loop as a system. This program also models the heat pump in conjunction with the heat transfer occurring.

Both horizontal and vertical wells can be simulated with this program, but it should be noted that the vertical wall is modeled as a single tube. GEO2D performs a detailed finite difference simulation of the heat transfer occurring within the working fluid, the tube wall, the grout, and the ground.

GEO2D is a computer code for simulating ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems in two-dimensions. This file contains a zipped file that contains many files required to run GEO2D.
