Borehole heat exchanger

Hello, I'm currently working on building a BHE model with a U-tube and was wondering does anyone have a simple solutions to how to setup the model with for example variable pipe inlet condition? Let's say I want to simulate geothermal heat for 1 year and want to have T_x as the temperature for winter time and T_y for summer time. What's the best way to setup that kind of condition? I'd also need the variable condition for mass flow rate and assume it could be done with the same method? I'm using heat transfer in solids module to for modeling the bedrock (which is where to BHE is drilled in) and the pipeflow module to model the tubing inside the well. Thank you in advance!
