Freezing analysis of a buried S-shaped pipeline


Introduction

The temperature of underground pipelines can have a significant influence on the overall thermal regime of the surrounding soil. This influence can also be effected by the presence of groundwater flow. Understanding the thermal regime within the surrounding soil is important when considering the design and operation of pipelines. This example illustrates a conductiononly (TEMP3D) analysis of a chilled pipeline, as well as a coupled analysis (SEEP3D and TEMP3D) that considers the influence of groundwater flow on the thermal response of the surrounding soil.
