Conditions of Modeling Heat and Mass Exchange Processes in Lower Prism of Rock-Fill Dam in Case of Forced Convection,

Abstract

The temperature-moisture regime in the lower prism of the dam is an important factor determining normal operation of rock-fill dams in regions with severe climatic conditions. In view of the difficulty of solving a system of differential equations which describes the processes of heat and mass exchange in the lower prism of the dam, the physical processes can be investigated experimentally on a model of the dam and then, using the modeling conditions, the results of the experiment can be transferred to the actual dam.
