The artificial ground freezing (AGF) is one of the most popular ground-support methods.
Driven by its reliability, compatibility with a wide range of ground types, and low impact on …

The aim of this paper is to categorize the major fixed grid formulations and solution methods
for conduction controlled phase change problems. Using a two phase model of a solid/liquid …

After a brief review of current source-based methods for modeling solidification phase
change systems, a new source-based method for the treatment of latent heat evolution is …

Thermal energy storage (TES) has the capability to absorb, store and release heat based on
dynamic surrounding environmental conditions. Sensible energy storage captures or …

Modelling of heat flow has become a standard practice in many solidification processes.
Effort is currently being made to couple heat flow calculations to related macroscopic …

Finite element algorithms are presented for the entire casting process from the mould filling
stage to the prediction of the final distorted shape. The various algorithms available in the …

In recent decades, numerous tunnels have been built in the cold region of China. However,
frost damage occurs frequently inside the tunnels; this damage threatens the stability of the …

The accuracies of the computed temperatures of a liquid in a corner region under freezing
conditions are compared for various fixed‐grid finite element techniques using the analytical …

Heat pipe cooled reactor (HPR) has a good adaptability to portable power system, which is
popular in recent years. Due to the particularity of alkali-metal working fluid, the deep …

An extensive amount of work has been published on the treatment of heat transfer
