Purpose

The goal of this page is to summarize key aspects, both theoretical and practical, of the computation of subsurface temperatures in the generic PCM.

Theoretical Considerations

The computation of the heat conduction in the soil was based on the 1D layer soil model originally described by Hourdin et al. (2013). Since that, E. Millour modified this scheme to include the possibility of varying the thermal properties with depth.
