Numerical modeling of fluid flow and heat transfer in Kurşunlu geothermal field-KGF (Salihli, Manisa/Turkey)

Nowadays, the need for energy is increasing more and more. It is more difficult to acquire new resources in various fields than to preserve existing energy resources. Although Turkey is a very rich state in terms of various energy resources, misuse of these resources can even lead to conflicts that may occur between the states in forthcoming years. In today’s economic conditions, we can only protect our energy resources with the correct way of management. In this context, it is very important to reveal the mechanisms that make up the geothermal systems, which are very common in Western Anatolia.
