ONE‐DIMENSIONAL NON‐LINEAR TRANSIENT HEAT CONDUCTION IN NUCLEAR WASTE REPOSITORIES

Abstract

Two analytical solutions of thermal problems connected with the disposal of nuclear waste are presented. Non‐linear diffusion problems are analysed. The use of the Kirchhoff transformation and the transformation of coordinates are made along with a numerical solution. Also comparison is made for the exact and numerical solutions for temperature histories at a nuclear waste site. A time dependent heat source is considered.
