Description

This issue is to implement the moving infinite line source solution (MFLS) for the evaluation of g-functions with groundwater flow. The solution is presented in [1]. An inclined moving finite line source should be possible following the implementation in #50. One thing to keep in mind is that, under groundwater flow, the reciprocal thermal response factor h_12 != H_2/H_1 * h_21. Similarity rules can be inferred from the MFLS solution. The 'equivalent' solver may be extended to consider groundwater flow. It is unknown if an approximation of the MFLS is possible.

The heat transport velocity can be added as an optional parameter to the finite_line_source function and the gFunction class, with v_T = 0..
