Draft: Adapting BHE process to soil freezing
The HeatTransportBHE
process is modified in order to take into account soil freezing. Therefore, the soil is now considered as a mixture of three phases:
- Porous phase (the solid)
- Liquid phase (e.g. water)
- Frozen liquid phase (e.g. ice)
The effective (apparent) heat capacity includes the latent heat contribution from the phase change of the liquid/frozen pore phase. The HeatTransportBHE
process was slightly modified to make use of the effective properties (fractional averages).
