Verification and Example Problems

Several verification problems are presented to demonstrate the thermal model in FLAC3D. The data files for these examples are contained in the “\Datafiles\Thermal” directory.

• Conduction in a Plane Sheet
• Conduction in a Hollow Cylinder
• Infinite Line Heat Source in an Infinite Medium
• Thermal Pore Pressure Coupled Response
• One-Dimensional Solution of Thermal Transport by Forced Convection and Conduction
• Steady-State Convection in a Saturated Porous Medium Heated from Above
• Steady-State Convection in a Saturated Porous Medium Heated from Below
