reduced permeability

<p># permeability reduction</p> <p>Matlab scripts to simulate the reduced permeability of porous granular media due to ice or hydrate. The functions are organized in two classes, including:<br> - `soil.m`. Calculate the soil freezing curves using a Monte Carlo method on synthetic soil models.<br> - `frw.m`. Calculate the permeabilities of the synthetic soil models, ice-free or ice-bearing, and compare the results against published models and measurements.<br> - `duct.m`. Examples showing the calculations in straight ducts of simple cross-sections.</p> <p>Parameters and data for calculations are in:<br> - `param.json`. All relevant parameters.<br> - `data/conductivity.xlsx`. Digitized measurements used for validation.<br> - `data/kr_finney.mat`. Simulated permeability reduction of Finney pack.<br> - `data/mc`. Simulated Monte Carlo results to calculate the soil freezing curves.<br> - `data/deposit`. Synthetic soil models, including the mono-dispersed Finney pack, and poly-dispersed synthetic soil.</p> <p>For details of the code, refer to the paper *Estimating permeability of partially frozen soil using floating random walks* published in Water Resources Research.&nbsp;</p> <p>This repository can also be found on&nbsp;<a href="https://gitlab.com/jzchenjz/permeability-reduction">GitLab</a>.</p>
