Abstract
Thermal consolidation of soil is a significant concern in buried geothermal pipeline engineering. Soil consolidation begins immediately upon pipeline completion, while a stable temperature field does not instantly form after soil backfilling. Therefore, considering the heat diffusion process post-pipeline installation is crucial for accurately predicting consolidation completion time. This study proposes a novel mathematical model integrating the heat diffusion process and continuous drainage boundary conditions. Based on the newly proposed model, the early-stage consolidation during the heat diffusion process can be accurately accounted so that the accelerated consolidation caused by the thermal effect would not be overestimated. In order to facilitate the application of the proposed model, a semi-analytical solution is derived by utilizing the integral transform method, variable separation method, and the inverse Fourier transform, the correctness of which has been validated through comparisons with the existing simplified studies. Additionally, a parametric study investigating the potential influencing parameters on thermal consolidation is conducted.

Transport in Porous Media publishes original research on physical and chemical aspects of transport phenomena in rigid and deformable porous media. These phenomena, occurring in single and multiphase flow in porous domains, can be governed by extensive quantities such as mass of a fluid phase, mass of component of a phase, momentum, or energy. Moreover, porous medium deformations can be induced by the transport phenomena, by chemical and electro-chemical activities such as swelling, or by external loading through forces and displacements. These porous media phenomena may be studied by researchers from various areas of physics, chemistry, biology, natural or materials science, and engineering (chemical, civil, agricultural, petroleum, environmental, electrical, and mechanical engineering).
