Adams, R. Brown] A multiphase mixture theory is developed and then utilized to study heat and mass transport processes in layered snow cover. The material is represented as a granular ice phase and a vapor phase which occupies the pore space. The theory is then implemented to study the process of temperature gradient metamorphism in dry seasonal snow cover and the effect of density layering on metamorphism of snow. Calculated results were found to be consistent with field observations of temperature gradient and density layering effects. The theory demonstrates that sharp variations in density induce a migration of vapor from the lower density snow toward the more dense layer, resulting in a gradual erosion of density of layers adjacent to dense snow. It is also shown that alteration in vapor density and temperature near the layer interface result. Springer-Verlag, 1990 Adams E.
