With increasing global wanning,the skiing season is shortened to different degrees all over the world.As a crucial way to ensure the sustainable development of the ski industry,snow storage has been gradually studied and applied in Europe.Covering thermal insulation materials is a key engineering measure for the success of snow storage.This study used numerical methods rather than an experimental method to evaluate the thermal insulation performance of nine snow storage coverage schemes in Harbin,Beijing,and Altay,China.We investigated the thermal insulation performance of nine snow storage coverage schemes (three natural materials and six artificial ones) using a solar radiation method and an implicit finite difference method.Sensitivity analyses were conducted,and the cost performance of schemes 5-9 were analyzed.Based on the cost and thermal insulation performance,we used schemes 4 (geotextile,straw bale),5 (geotextile,extruded polystyrene foam),and 7 (geotextile,polyurethane foam) to evaluate the snow storage effects in Harbin,Beijing,and Altay.Results showed that among schemes 1-9,scheme 7 has the best thermal insulation performance.If natural materials are used,then scheme 3 gives the best thermal insulation performance.Among schemes 5-9,scheme 5 is the most economical.The heat transfer in Beijing is higher than that in Harbin and Altay,while the latter two show similar heat transfers.The combination of meteorological conditions and coverage schemes influence the melting rate of snowpacks.The melting rate of snowpacks can be reduced with an optimized coverage scheme.The proposed methods can serve the selection of coverage schemes for snow storage.
