Record #124803:

Modeling the thermal conductivity of frozen soils / Vlodek R. Tarnawski, Bernhard Wagner.

Title: Modeling the thermal conductivity of frozen soils / Vlodek R. Tarnawski, Bernhard Wagner.
Author(s): Tarnawski, Vlodek R.
Wagner, Bernhard.
Date: 1993.
In: Cold Regions Science and Technology. (1993.), Vol. 22(1) (1993)
Abstract: Describes computerized extended version of De Vries model for producing thermal properties of frozen field soils. Model generally requires limited data input and can be applied to range of soil moistures and temperatures. Predicted results are in good agreement with published experimental data provided that default data of mineral composition closely follow experimental results. User-friendly computer program has been developed to calculate thermal properties of soils below and above 0°C; this offers two modes of input data, default and self-entered. latter requires as input: grain-size distribution, bulk density or porosity, mineral composition and shape of minerals. Model can be used for quick estimation of thermal conductivity of almost any soil having lognormal grain-size distribution and for computer simulation of heat transfer in soils above and below freezing point.
