A Thermo–TDR Sensor for Simultaneous Measurement of Unfrozen Water Content and Thermal Conductivity of Frozen Soil by Panting Liu, Simao Fan, Qingyi Mu, Qifan Zhang, Linlin Tang, Jine Liu, Fuqing Cui, Zhiyun Liu, Xuna Wang

“…The results show that (1) under the optimized probe parameters, the deviation between the theoretical thermal conductivity and the numerical preset value is 2.94%, verifying the accuracy of the sensor in thermal physical testing. (2) With a 10 mm probe spacing design, the test area of the thermo-TDR significantly increased, and the skin effect coefficient reached 25.54%, satisfying the electromagnetic design requirements of the TDR method. (3) The designed thermo-TDR sensor realizes the simultaneous measurement of unfrozen water and thermal conductivity of frozen soil, and the experimental results present a good consistency with that of the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and transient planar heat source methods. (4) Additionally, due to the drastic changes in the soil’s physical properties due to the probe’s heating process, testing errors of the thermo-TDR sensor will significantly increase in the near-phase transition range, especially in the range of −2~−1 °C.…”
