Systems without interaction with the ground surface are considered. For heating or cooling of the ground by a flat slab, an analytical solution was used. Heat transfer between the ground and a single pipe and several parallel pipes is also considered. In these cases, a numerical solution was used. The analysed problems are of practical importance for modelling and simulation of ground heat exchangers cooperating with heat pumps.
