The invention discloses a determination method and device of a
groundwater flow rate and a flow direction based on a temperature tracer. The method mainly comprises the following steps that 1) a temperature sensor measures and acquires a current
water temperature T0 of
groundwater; 2) an
azimuth measuring instrument measures an included angle between a heat conduction
pipe A and a direction of north; 3) a constant temperature
system regulates and controls a temperature of a constant temperature
regulator so that the temperature is always K; 4) a water conveyance
system drives a
heat flow in the constant temperature
system to flow so that the
heat flow sequentially flows through a heat insulating
pipe, the heat conduction
pipe A, a heat conduction pipe B and the heat insulating pipe, and then flows back to the constant temperature system; 5) a
data acquisition system collects data of the temperature sensor and uploads the data to an upper computer through a
data transmission line; and 6) a
groundwater flow rate value and a flow direction are processed and acquired. The device mainly includes the constant temperature system, the water conveyance system, the
data acquisition system, aPC, the temperature sensor, the heat insulating pipe and the
data transmission line. In the invention, accuracy is high, there is no
pollution, health of an operator is not harmed, cost is low and operation is simple.
