The local solver is implemented. Public computation is planned; this section presents its methods and results.

TWO ZONES / ONE COLD GROUND2D
Computed temperatures beneath two synthetic surface heat inputs; three warming isotherms in initially frozen ground.
Final state · day 180
Illustrative numerical example. Assumed inputs: 1.5 and 0.5 W/m². The ground stays frozen; these contours are not thaw fronts. Read the setup →
