Abstract

The authors describe mathematical modeling of the temperature field dynamics within a tailing dump and surrounding rock mass under the Magadan Region conditions. Parameters of insulating soil layers which provide the permafrost state of tailings storage are established. The emphasis is laid upon the significance of such factors as air convection within the protecting dike body, regime of tailing supply to the dump, heat fields of the surrounding rock mass prone to season variations.
