This paper provides a comprehensive overview of related publications that discuss the thermal and hydraulic characteristics of the AGF.
It reviews the most common types of AGF systems, their basic configurations, and their main applications. It also examines a series of analytical, numerical, and experimental analyses undertaken to assess and quantify the heat transfer and fluid flow during the AGF process.
Throughout the literature review, one can observe the significant improvement of the problem formulation during the last decades.
It is concluded that the subject of AGF has received a lot of attention in the last decade, especially in environmental and civil applications.
The number of experimental or analytical studies on AGF is very limited. Thus, there is a vast opportunity for research and development of the AGF.
