A finite volume-based model for the hydrothermal behavior of soil under freeze-thaw cycles.

Freeze-thaw cycles in soil are driven by water migration, phase transitions, and heat transfer, which themselves are closely coupled variables in the natural environment. To simulate this complex periglacial process at different time and length scales, a multi-physics model was established by solvin...
