Abstract
We compare two mathematical models of the freezing process of a moist soil saturated with an aqueous solute of salt. For the mathematical model with constant coefficients in the heat equation in a two-phase domain, the possibility of a continuous transition of water saturation to zero at the interface between two-phase and frozen domains is shown.
