**Case T2** Test Case T2 is a further step towards the full set of coupled equations. It is limited to the heat transfer equation solely with conduction and phase change. {{ equations1.jpg?300 }} This test case is still under discussion. The system would consists of a 1D vertical soil column with heterogeneous porous medium properties and geothermal flux. A step temperature could be imposed for a column initially in balance with geothermal flux. We could deal with a fully saturated column or wait from later stages of the Benchmark dealing with a non saturated medium and for instance Richards equations. {{ test_cases:t2geom.png?100 }} Please contact us if you are interested.
