[TRNSYS-users] Simulating an open pond

[Richard Flarend <ref7@psu.edu>]

Is there a type which could be used to simulate an open pond (of relatively uniform depth of 1-1.5 meters) as a heat sink for a ground-source heat pump?  It would need to take into account the freezing of the surface and the changing albedo that comes with that.  Our school has a man-made pond that some students want to investigate as a heat sink while at the same time also providing a skating rink.

Thanks,
