Analytical and numerical modeling for the effects of thermal insulation in underground tunnels - Liu WV, Apel DB, Bindiganavile VS, Szymanski JK.

The heat flow generated from the infinite rock mass surrounding the underground tunnels is a major cause for the increasing cooling demands in deep mine tunnels. Insulation layers with lower thermal conductivities on tunnel walls and roof ceilings are beli...
