Transport of Water in Frozen Soil. I. Experimental Determination of Soil - Water Diffusivity under Isothermal Conditions,

Abstract

A new experimental method for measuring the soil-water diffusivity of frozen soil under isothermal conditions is introduced. The theoretical justification of the method is presented and the feasibility of the method is demonstrated by experiments conducted using marine-deposited clay. The measured values of the soil-water diffusivity are found comparable to reported experimental data. (Author)
