Abstract
With permafrost degeneration caused by climate change, water accumulation has increased in permafrost regions during recent decades. Water accumulation will deteriorate the existing status of engineering in cold regions. Water accumulation can have a thermal effect on permafrost during its formation, even resulting in failure of the subgrade. Moreover, the thermal effect is related to water temperature. However, temperature variation of water accumulation is complex, and its influencing factors include air temperature, environment, scope of water accumulation and so on. In order to conduct analysis of the damage mechanism of water accumulation on permafrost, it is necessary to explore the internal temperature change of water accumulation. This paper proposes a review of temperature calculation method for water accumulation in cold environment. The thermal calculation method for the space between the air and the water boundary of water accumulation is summarized. Water temperature change of water accumulation of various types is analyzed. The thermal calculation considering phase transformation in water accumulation is discussed, and heat transfer from the bottom of the water accumulation to the underlying soil is further studied. Finally, the key factors that are advantageous for conducting research about the thermal effect of water accumulation in permafrost are proposed to optimize the calculation method.
