Abstract
The computation of multi-dimensional phase change in porous media has been a long standing interest of researchers in hydrology, geophysics, and geochemistry. Chemical and mechanical engineers as well have had to concern themselves with the challenges of simulating the complexities of coupled heat and fluid flow in chemical processes and heat exchangers. More recently interest in this domain has developed strongly among civil, petroleum, and geotechnical engineers. This has been stimulated by many developments, including an increased recognition of the continual cost of winter related soil problems, increased exploration and exploitation of northern regions, use of combustion in reservoir engineering, and increased use of ground freezing techniques for mining and construction purposes.
