A snow layer on a heated pavement strongly affects the energy balance at the pavement surface. Freshly fallen snow has a fairly low thermal conductivity and acts as a good insulator. The thermal properties can vary greatly during the melting process. This study looks into the change of the thermal conductivity during the melting process of dry un ... Читать дальше »
