Heat Transfer in Unsaturated Soil with Application to Borehole Thermal Energy Storage
(Soil Science Society of America; Geological Society of America; Wiley Open Access, 2016-09-29)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: In this study, we numerically and experimentally evaluated heat transfer in soils under unsaturated conditions in the context of simulating a laboratory-scale, ...
Effect of Turbulence and Roughness on Coupled Porous-Medium/Free-Flow Exchange Processes
(Springer, 2016-03-09)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: The interactions between turbulent free flow and flow in a porous medium are of key interest in different fields, e.g., meteorology, agriculture, building physics, ...
Evaporation from soils under thermal boundary conditions: Experimental and modeling investigation to compare equilibrium- and nonequilibrium-based approaches
(Wiley; American Geophysical Union, 2011-05-27)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: In the shallow subsurface immediately below the land-atmosphere interface, it is widely recognized that the movement of water vapor is closely coupled to thermal ...
An evaluation of models of bare soil evaporation formulated with different land surface boundary conditions and assumptions
(Wiley; American Geophysical Union, 2012-12-22)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: Bare soil evaporation is a key process for water exchange between the land and the atmosphere and an important component of the water balance. However, there is no ...
Continuum-scale investigation of evaporation from bare soil under different boundary and initial conditions: An evaluation of nonequilibrium phase change
(Wiley; American Geophysical Union, 2015-09-03)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: Evaporation and condensation in bare soils govern water and energy fluxes between the land and atmosphere. Phase change between liquid water and water vapor is ...
Thermal Conductivity of Binary Sand Mixtures Evaluated through Full Water Content Range
(Soil Science Society of America; Wiley, 2016-06-24)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: A soil’s grain-size distribution affects its physical and hydraulic properties; however, little is known about its effect on soil thermal properties. To better ...
Heat and water transport in soils and across the soil-atmosphere interface: 2. Numerical analysis
(Wiley; American Geophysical Union, 2017-02-03)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: In an accompanying paper, we presented an overview of a wide variety of modeling concepts, varying in complexity, used to describe evaporation from soil. Using ...
Sensible Heat Balance and Heat-Pulse Method Applicability to In Situ Soil-Water Evaporation
(Soil Science Society of America; Geological Society of America; Wiley Open Access, 2013-12-19)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: A combined heat-pulse and sensible heat balance method can be used to determine evaporation using temperature measurements and thermal property estimations. The ...
Heat and water transport in soils and across the soil-atmosphere interface: 1. Theory and different model concepts
(Wiley; American Geophysical Union, 2017-02-03)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: Evaporation is an important component of the soil water balance. It is composed of water flow and transport processes in a porous medium that are coupled with heat ...
Coupled Thermally-Enhanced Bioremediation and Renewable Energy Storage System: Conceptual Framework and Modeling Investigation
(MDPI, 2018-09-20)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: This paper presents a novel method to couple an environmental bioremediation system with a subsurface renewable energy storage system. This method involves treating ...
