 +The procedure solving coupled TH transfers with phase change was developed based on the core procedure TRANGEOL solving time step Eulerian transport (diffusive-dispersive & advective transport). TRANGEOL provides a variety of options: a VF (Le Potier 2004, 2005, 2010) or a MHFE (Mosé et al. 1994; Dabbene et al. 1998) numerical scheme, theta-methods (from implicit to explicit) for diffusion and advection, as well as various options for system matrix inversion and conditioning (www-cast3m.cea.fr). It was largely tested for nuclear waste storage applications showing the practical pros and cons of most of these options and approaches.

 +To resolve the TH benchmark cases the TRANGEOL procedure was used with the implementation of new development, 1°) adding the phase change term and 2°) solving the set of non-linear coupled equations by means of a Picard iteration scheme. So some points are detailed below.
