NewFeature Analytical Short-term g-function

[j-c-cook]

Javed and Claesson (2011) present an analytical solution for the short-term temperature response. It is validated against a numerical implementation and sandbox data. Detailed mathematical solution is given in Claesson (2011).

I am considering the implementation of our transient multipole solution presented in [1].

This solution has the added feature of considering the position of the pipes in the borehole and the short-circuit resistance. It would allow us to re-use some of the interface of the steady-state pipe models in the pipes module.

That sounds great. I currently don't have time to dwell into either of Claesson's papers on the subject. From a top level, I like the look of Prieto and Cimmino (2020). I'll keep an eye out for a PR implementing the solution presented in [1] and see if I can provide support in any way.
