Zusammenfassung

In many branches of engineering, e.g. material science, soil constructions, and geotechnics, freezing and thawing processes of fluid filled porous media play an important role. The coupled fluid-ice-solid behavior is strongly influenced by phase transition, heat and mass transport as well as interactions of fluid-solid/ice pressure depending on the entropy of fusion, and is accompanied by a volume expansion. In this contribution, a macroscopic model based on the Theory of Porous Media (TPM) is presented toward the description of freezing and thawing processes/ freeze-thaw cycles in fluid filled porous media. Therefore, a quadruple model consisting of the constituents solid, ice, liquid and gas is used. Attention is paid to the description of capillary effects, especially, the frost suction, the distribution of fluid and ice pressure as well as solid deformation before, during and after the ice formation in consideration of energetic effects under cycling thermal loading. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the usefulness of the model.
