Periodic Heat Flow in a Stratified Medium with Application to Permafrost Problems
Description:
From abstract: Solutions to the Fourier heat equation for quasi-steady periodic flow in a stratified semi-infinite medium can be obtained readily by standard methods. The results have wide application to studies of earth-temperature variations
induced by diurnal, annual, and other periodic variations in ground-surface temperature. Much of the previous work on this subject has been interpreted with reference to the solution for the homogeneous case; and this can be seriously in error when applie…
