Abstract

The stress condition mainly dominates the thermal conductivity of soils whereas governing factors such as unit weight and porosity suggested by empirical correlations are still valid. The 3D thermal network model enables evaluation of the stress-dependent thermal conductivity of particulate materials generated by discrete element method (DEM). The relationship among dominant factors is analyzed based on the coordination number and porosity determined by stress condition and thermal conductivity of pore fluid. Results show that the variation of thermal conductivity is strongly attributed to the enlargement of inter-particle contact area by loading history and pore fluid conductivity. This study highlights that the anisotropic evolution of thermal conductivity depends on the directional load and that the particle-scale mechanism mainly dictates the heat transfer in soils.

지반 물질의 열전도도는 경험식이 제안하는 단위 중량, 간극률 등의 영향 인자 이외에도 하중조건에 따라 크게 좌우된다. 본 논문에서는 개별요소법에 의해 생성된 입자상 지반재료의 열 전달 특성을 열 네트워크 모델로 해석하여 하중이 열전도도에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 하중의 변화에 의한 개별 입자들간의 접촉수 및 간극률, 간극수의 전도도에 따른 열전도도를 산출하여 영향 요소들간의 관계를 분석하였다. 전도도의 변화 양상은 전단강성도 분석과 유사하게 열전달 방향 및 하중 크기에 따른 멱함수 형태로 회귀분석이 가능하였다. 해석 결과 하중에 따른 입자간 접촉 면적의 증가 및 간극수의 전도도가 전체 입자상 물질의 열 흐름에 큰 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었다. 열전도도의 이방성은 하중 방향에 의해 좌우되며 입자 스케일에서의 매커니즘이 열 흐름을 좌우하는 중요한 인자임을 보였다.
