Description

  A Heat Dissipation Test implies heating a conducting element within the saturated soil until its temperature increase reaches steady state while monitoring the temperature development of the heating element during heating and cooling phases. In this case, we used a single Fiber Optic (FO) cable to perform a Heat Dissipation Test, aiming to quantify groundwater flow. The FO cable is installed along the outer casing of a piezometer located in an unconsolidated shallow aquifer. The data presented are the maximum temperature reached each depth, the filtered temperature increment for the most representative depths, and the resulting values of thermal conductivity and groundwater flow based on the interpretation of the recorded data.
