A Numerical Model of Vapour Transfer and Phase Change in Unsaturated Freezing Soils

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2020
In recent studies, vapour transfer is reported to lead to remarkable frost heave in unsaturated soils, but how to better model this process has not been answered. In order to avoid the great uncertainty caused by the phase change term of vapour-water-ice
