Onsager reciprocity in premelting solids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The diffusive motion of foreign particles dispersed in a premelting solid is analyzed within the framework of irreversible thermodynamics. We determine the mass diffusion coefficient, thermal diffusion coefficient and Soret coefficient of the particles ...

Statistical framework for condensation frosting incipience on smooth and nanostructured surfaces

open access: yesDroplet, EarlyView.
A statistical framework for frost incipience that considers the effect of surface wettability and captures the stochastic nature of both nucleation dynamics for condensation and droplet growth during the subsequent freezing process. Abstract Frost and ice formation on a solid surface is governed by nanoscale liquid‒solid intermolecular interactions ...

Thermal modeling of Anchorage driveway culvert with addition of insulation to prevent frost heaving [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A predominate problem in cold regions, and specifically in Anchorage, Alaska, is frost heaving pavement above culverts in residential driveways. The culvert increases heat loss in the subgrade materials during winter months and allows the soils below ...

Numerical simulation study on the evolution of the temperature field and frozen wall in fractured rock mass

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The evolution of the temperature field and frozen wall under different fracture conditions was examined by an artificial ground freezing‐based thermal‐hydraulic coupled model. It was observed that fracture inclination affects the interaction extent of freezing pipes and fracture, while phase transition extent is the dominant factor for heat transfer in

Analysis of Elastoplastic Mechanical Properties of Non-Uniform Frozen Wall Considering Frost Heave

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
The aim of this study was to analyze the force and deformation law of an artificial frozen wall. Thus, the frost heave coefficient was introduced to describe the frost heave characteristics, and the frozen wall was regarded as a heterogeneous material ...

A Bio-Wicking System to Prevent Frost Heave in Alaskan Pavements: Phase II Implementation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Water within pavement layers is the major cause of pavement deterioration. High water content results in significant reduction in soil’s resilient behavior and an increase in permanent deformation.
