Heat Exchange in Unsaturated Porous Media with Heat Dependent Water Flow

Article Preview

Abstract:

We discuss the heat and mass transport in unsaturated-saturated porous mediaincluding heat exchange between inltrated water and matrix. We include the thermal inuenceon hydraulic permeability and on the water expansion which changes the water saturation.This consequently inuences the hydraulic permeability.Numerical modelling includes the direct and inverse solution of the problem, where model parametersare determined. Numerical experiments require only simple input/output measurementsof suitable ow characteristics in laboratory conditions with 3D cylindrical samples.The ow model is based on Richard's strongly non-linear parabolic equation based on empiricalvan Genuchten's capillary-pressure model. The transport includes longitudinal and transversaldispersion.
