## Abstract An algorithm for estimating areal snowmelt infiltration into frozen soils is developed. Frozen soils are grouped into classes according to surface entry condition as: (a) __Restricted__โwater entry is impeded by surface conditions, (b) __Limited__โcapillary flow predominates and water e

## Abstract A model is proposed in which the cumulative load of an ion infiltrating into frozen unsaturated soil can be estimated as a function of meltwater ion concentration and infiltration rate. Assumptions of the model are that the meltwater solution released to the soil surface is conservative
This paper uses a numerical simulation to develop an expression for predicting inยฎltration of water into a frozen soil. The simulation is based on the continuity, energy and momentum equations, and uses well-known and accepted procedures to deยฎne the transport phenomena and the thermophysical proper
