The following list is a collection of the most common applications for SVHeat™. Most of them are included as sample models in our free software download.

• Perform climatic analysis of earth covers by coupling SVHeat with SVFlux™
• Model the application of thermosyphons to freeze the ground
• Simulate the process in borehole thermal energy storage systems (BTES), which includes simulating the heat injection into the boreholes, the heat that can be stored and then extracted from the BTES, and the potential thermal losses in the ground
• Model heat flow in underground foundations
• Model geothermal reservoirs: locating re-injection wells, production forecasting, volume calculation, heat resource estimation
• Perform general geothermal modeling of canals
• Model mine stopes and other underground mine structures by coupling SVHeat with SVFlux™. Calculate the ice/water interface and track frozen zones in the subsurface
• Design better pipelines or insulation by modeling the temperature distribution around them
• Model the thermal regime around ponds, roadways
• Model ground freezing and thawing, or the temperature variation, for many of the above scenarios
