文摘A coupled water and heat transport mode is established based on the Richards equation to study water flow and heat transport in soil during freezing process. Both the finite difference and finite element method are used in the discretization, respectively. Two different computer programs are written and used to simulate an indoor unidirectional frozen test. The freezing depth, freezing rate and temperature variation are compared among lab tests, finite difference calculation simulation and finite element calculation simulation. Result shows that: the finite difference method has a better performance in freezing depth simulation while the finite element method has a better performance in numerical stability in one-dimensional freezing simulation.
文摘为研究西部寒旱区盐渍土传热传质行为,首先,在无压补给条件下进行非饱和硫酸盐渍土的单向冻结试验;其次,考虑结晶潜热、结晶阻抗及结晶消耗等因素,建立非饱和硫酸盐渍土水-热-盐三场耦合模型;最后,采用COMSOL Multi-physics对耦合模型进行数值模拟,将模拟结果与试验数据进行对比分析.研究结果表明:盐渍土内温度随冻结时长呈三阶段发展,逐步形成上冷下暖的温度梯度;在温度梯度和基质吸力双重驱动下,水、盐向冻结锋位置迁移,冻结锋位置水、盐含量出现峰值,峰值含水率、含盐量相较初始值分别增加2.16%和0.28%;冻结锋沿冻结温度线移动,形成冻结锋面;土柱最大冻结深度约为15.5 cm.
