Abstract

Application of changes in temperature to soils and rocks may lead to a wide range of flow processes and physical phenomena. This chapter focuses on the fundamental aspects of coupled heat transfer and water flow in saturated and unsaturated soils and rocks, thermal pressurization of pore fluids, thermal volume change, thermal softening of the preconsolidation stress, thermal hydro-shearing, and desiccation cracking. Established applications are also presented, including energy piles, barriers for radioactive waste repositories, and thermal energy storage. Emerging research areas including the role of thermal processes in climate change and elevated temperature landfills are also discussed.
