In February's GeoStudio TechTalk - Mastering 3D Analyses: Heat Transfer in Complex Geology Part 2 - we will continue developing the heat transfer analysis with thermosyphons that we created the geometry for in January's GeoStudio TechTalk. This analysis will evaluate the effects of installing thermosyphons to minimize the heat transfer from a building to the underlying ground in a region with permafrost.
February's GeoStudio TechTalk is the second part of a two-part webinar series considering heat transfer in a complex geologic setting. In February's session, we will use the 3D domain generated in January's webinar for a 3D heat transfer analysis. This analysis will evaluate the effects of installing thermosyphons to minimize the heat transfer from a building to the underlying ground in a region with permafrost.
Join Seequent's Kathryn Dompierre in this free webinar for a demonstration of the following:
• The steps for setting up a 3D heat transfer analysis, including material and boundary condition definition in GeoStudio;
• How to model thermosyphons in GeoStudio;
• Methods for constraining the mesh in specific regions where large gradients may be present (i.e. around the thermosyphons); and
• How to review the 3D heat transfer results.
Two sessions are available to register on February 15.
Kathryn Dompierre completed a M.Sc. in environmental policy at the London School of Economics and Political Science and a Ph.D. in civil engineering at the University of Saskatchewan (Saskatoon, Canada). Her doctoral research explored the movement of pore water, contaminants, and energy through oil sands fine tailings using field testing and numerical analyses.

She joined the GeoStudio engineering team in 2016, and now manages the learning and technical content related to GeoStudio.
Kathryn is involved in the Women in Engineering committee for Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba and serves on the boards of two environmental NGOs: Lake Winnipeg Foundation and Manitoba Eco-Network.
