The kinetics of ice-lens growth in porous media

We analyse the growth rate of segregated ice (ice lenses) in freezing porous media. For typical colloidal materials such as soils we show that the commonly-employed Clapeyron equation is not valid macroscopically at the interface between the ice lens and the surrounding porous medium owing to the vi...
