Finite Element Modeling of Couples Heat and Moisture Transport in Permafrost.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the use of finite element techniques for solving convective heat transfer problems which involve phase change. The specific application was to permafrost modeling. This has been accomplished at several levels, ranging from very theoretical error estima...

Description
Summary:The purpose of this research was to investigate the use of finite element techniques for solving convective heat transfer problems which involve phase change. The specific application was to permafrost modeling. This has been accomplished at several levels, ranging from very theoretical error estimates and development of special numerical techniques to handle phase change, to application of finite element techniques to specific permafrost problems.
