... and management purposes, the long-term probability distribution of active layer thickness is of primary interest. A robust method is presented to calculate maximum active layer thickness, employing the Stefan equation to compute phase change of moisture in soils and using air temperature as the sole climatic...

... by an active layer whose thermal properties varied seasonally. Pingo growth, as determined from the growth of bands, shows good agreement with Stefan's equation where growth varied as the square root of time. Geochemical profiles show no systematic change with depth. Stable-isotope profiles for δ 18 O and δD...

...Chiu-Shia Fen Abstract This study calibrated a gas transport model that uses multicomponent approaches, i.e., the dusty gas model (DGM) and Stefan–Maxwell (SM) equations, to soil gas concentration depth profiles to determine aerobic biodegradation rates of hydrocarbons in unsaturated soils. I found...

... capacity, and no heat advection. However, the simplicity of the Stefan equation facilitates modifications to relax the limiting assumptions, and recent studies have demonstrated how the equation can be modified to accommodate temporally variable soil moisture conditions ( Hayashi et al., 2007 ), spatially...

.... The dynamic pressure at the head, backward flow, and displacement of the ambient fluid are also ignored in these models. Farrell and Stefan (1988) simulated the plunging of a river into a reservoir due to temperature- induced density difference. They formulated the governing equations in a cylindrical polar...

... calibrated for the past 100 k.y., providing the basis for an age equation with a realistic age uncertainty of ∼±20%. The new age equation can be applied to other hypolimnic settings because the temperature below the thermocline of deep lakes from middle- and high-latitude regions can reasonably be assumed...

Recent authors have presented more general equations, based on the Stefan-Maxwell equations for evaluating mean velocity that involve less stringent...
