  • Abstract
The influence of applying different heat transfer models coupled different data processing methods on determining the ground thermal properties and borehole resistance is analyzed and studied in allusion to constant heating flux method of thermal response test. Results indicate that the calculated thermal properties and borehole resistance are different when applying line heat source model and cylindrical heat source model respectively; volume specific heat barely affects the unknown thermal conductivity, but affects the borehole resistance. Three-parameter estimation has good credibility in determination of thermal properties and borehole resistance. However, the stability of three-parameter estimation on the determination of thermal diffusivity is not good. Finally, the approach of three parameters estimation coupled the line heat source model and cylindrical heat source model is proposed to determine the thermal properties and borehole resistance based on the analysis of the minimum average error on the two heat transfer models.
