THE APPLICA TION OF "FROZEN WALL " SOFTWARE IN SIMULA TION OF ARTIFICIAL GROUND FREEZING
The paper presents general information about the software application “Frozen Wall ”, which was designed to simulate frozen wall formation around constructed vertical shafts. The main feature of the developed application is the possibility of calibrating the mathematical model for the best fit with the experimental temperature measurements by numerical solution of the inverse Stefan problem. In addition, it takes into account a number of technological processes that affect the state of the frozen wall. Based on calculations performed in the application, it is possible to develop technical measures aimed at ensuring the efficiency of mine shafts construction in difficult hydrogeological conditions.
