Heat Transfer in Unsaturated Soil with Application to Borehole Thermal Energy Storage

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated heat transfer in soils under unsaturated conditions in the context of simulating a laboratory-scale, three-dimensional soil-borehole thermal energy storage (SBTES) system.

Role of nonequilibrium water vapor diffusion in thermal energy storage systems in the vadose zone

TL;DR: Although siting of thermal energy storage systems in the vadose zone may be beneficial due to the low thermal conductivity of unsaturated soils, water phase change and vapor diffusion in so...

Emerging Thermal Issues in Geotechnical Engineering

TL;DR: In this paper, the fundamental aspects of coupled heat transfer and water flow in saturated and unsaturated soils and rocks, thermal volume change, thermal softening of the preconsolidation stress, thermal hydro-shearing, and desiccation cracking are discussed.

Modeling and numerical analysis of the canopy effect with time-varying top boundary conditions of soil with an ice-water-air multiphase zone

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors extended the previously presented canopy effect model by considering the top boundary variation in addition to unsaturated soil moisture migration and frost heave formulation, and clarified that an ice-water-air multiphase zone exists during the development of this kind of canopy effect.
