Results of the first phase of InterFrost: Test cases TH2 and TH3

The first phase of InterFrost concerning test cases TH2 and TH3 is now completed and the results are published in the following paper: Grenier C., Anbergen H, Bense V, Chanzy Q, Coon E, Collier N, Costard F, Ferry M, Frampton A, Frederick J, Goncalves J, Holmén J, Jost A, Kokh S, Kurylyk B, McKenzie J, Molson J, Mouche E, Orgogozo L, Pannetier R, Rivière A, Roux N, Rühaak W, Scheidegger J, Selroos J-O, Therrien R, Vidstrand P, Voss C. Groundwater flow and heat transport for systems undergoing freeze-thaw: Intercomparison of numerical simulators for 2D test cases. Advances in Water Resources 114 (2018) 196–218

For future model developers with the purpose of evaluating their recent coupled TH developments against benchmark cases, we advise running the test cases TH2 and TH3.

The presentation of these cases is to be found under following links Case TH2 Initial frozen inclusion evolution (full coupling with inflowing water)

The results are presented in the paper mentioned above but can be downloaded as excel file (so far only TH2 cases):
